Overview

• A judge has rejected a lawsuit seeking to disqualify Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones from holding office due to his participation as a Trump elector in 2020.
• The lawsuit was brought by four voters who argued that Jones violated his oath of office by falsely claiming to be a valid Trump elector.
• Jones was one of 16 Republicans who gathered at Georgia's Capitol in December 2020, claiming to be legitimate electors.
• The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear Trump's appeal of a Colorado court ruling that keeps him off the 2024 presidential ballot due to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.
• A decision on whether to prosecute Jones on state charges remains in limbo due to a lack of a special prosecutor willing to take the case.
