Officials in Georgia have ruled that Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene should remain on the ballot for reelection, after a group of voters and a supporting legal group filed a formal challenge to her candidacy for her role in the Capitol riot.

On Friday, a state administrative judge said that the lawyers challenging Greene’s run failed to prove that she engaged in insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.
