On September 20, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene filed this short brief in the Eleventh Circuit, asking the court not to be influenced by the decision of a New Mexico state trial court that removed a county commissioner from office due to his actions on January 6, 2021.

Greene is seeking to have the Eleventh Circuit rule that she should not have been forced to undergo an administrative process handled by the Secretary of State, to determine if the Fourteenth Amendment’s “insurrection” clause applies to her. Even though the state administrative ruling ruled that she is eligible, she still wants a federal ruling that she should not have been required to go through the process.
