BREAKING NEW: A lawsuit has been filed against Georgia's Lieutenant Governor, Burt Jones, seeking his disqualification from the position based on his involvement as an elector for Donald Trump in the 2020 elections. The plaintiffs, including the former head of the Atlanta branch of the NAACP, confidently assert that Jones violated his oath of office by signing his name as a Trump elector. Despite arguments presented before a Georgia judge on Monday, no decision has been made yet.
It is worth noting that this lawsuit is happening at a time when the question of prosecuting the Lieutenant Governor on state charges is still uncertain, due to the unavailability of a special prosecutor. Given that Biden was certified as the winner of Georgia's 16 electoral votes in the 2020 election, opponents nationwide are challenging Trump's eligibility to appear on ballots, arguing that he's barred under a clause in the U.S. Constitution that prohibits those who engaged in insurrection from holding office.
In Georgia, challengers assert that the same clause applies to Jones, as he had taken an oath to support the U.S. and Georgia constitutions and is deemed an insurrectionist against the Constitution of the United States of America.
