Atlanta – Georgia’s top court has ruled in favor of a transgender politician sued by two political opponents who claimed she misled voters by running as a female.
The Georgia Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling on Monday found that the two unsuccessful candidates for Riverdale City Council failed to produce evidence of fraud, misconduct or illegality.
Michelle Bruce landed one of four council seats in 2003 in a campaign to attract more jobs and residents to Riverdale. But she faced stiff opposition when she ran for re-election in 2007, and eventually lost her seat.
