The re-election campaign by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) is being challenged by a group that alleges she is ineligible because of her stated support for those who invaded the U.S. Capitol in January of last year.
The group relies on the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which bans anyone from holding office if that person supported insurrectionists.
Earlier, a judge rejected her bid to toss the challenge, which was based on the claim that the challenge itself was unconstitutional.
A longer outlook sees this as a move to establish a precedent, which would then be used to stop Donald Trump from seeking office.
