List of alleged Georgia election racketeers

List of alleged Georgia election racketeers is a list of people directly involved in the Georgia election racketeering prosecution including those who have pled guilty, the remaining defendants, and unindicted co-conspirators.

Pled guilty
4 of the 19 individuals who were indicted have pled guilty as of October 24, 2023.


 * Kenneth Chesebro, pro-Trump lawyer who acted as an outside adviser, seven felony charges. He pled guilty on October 20, 2023. The original charges related to writing memos and emails describing how Georgia and other states could "convene and cast false Electoral College votes". Politically liberal until around 2016, after earning his law degree he worked on prominent cases such as the Iran–Contra investigation as a deputy special counsel, and Bush v. Gore as research assistant for his former Harvard law professor, Laurence Tribe. However, Chesebro's political views had flipped by 2016 when he assisted Eastman with litigation against birthright citizenship, upon which Trump had been campaigning since 2015. He wrote three memos in 2020—dated November 18, December 6, and December 9 —originating the idea of creating "alternate slates of electors" in states Biden had won.


 * Sidney Powell, Trump campaign lawyer, seven felony charges. On October 19, 2023, Powell pled guilty to six misdemeanor counts in the case. She had been accused of: making false statements that the election results were fraudulent; contracting SullivanStrickler to collect and analyze data from Dominion Voting Systems equipment in multiple states, ultimately leading to the "unlawful breach of election equipment in Coffee County, Georgia".


 * Jenna Ellis, Trump campaign lawyer, two felonies. Accused of soliciting Georgia state senators to violate their oaths of office "by unlawfully appointing presidential electors from the State of Georgia." She pled guilty on October 24, 2023.


 * Scott Graham Hall, bail bondsman, seven felonies. Allegations included: "looking into the election on behalf of [Trump]". He has been described in the press as being "at the center of the breach of election equipment in Coffee County". He was the first to plead guilty on September 29. He pled guilty to five misdemeanors.

Remaining defendants
The 15 remaining defendants in the indictment and some of the allegations against them are:


 * Donald Trump, former U.S. president, 13 felonies. Alleged organizer and leader of a criminal enterprise which attempted to fraudulently overturn the results of presidential elections in Georgia and six other states.
 * Rudy Giuliani, Trump lawyer, 13 felonies. Accused of "overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracy", including falsely telling a Georgia Senate Judiciary Committee that 10,315 dead persons and 2,560 convicted felons cast votes.
 * John Eastman, Trump lawyer, 9 felonies. Accusations include: making false statements in a court filing; helping assemble "unlawful" pro-Trump electors.
 * Mark Meadows, Trump's final White House chief of staff, two felonies. Accusations include soliciting a public officer to violate their oath during the Raffensperger call, telling him, "I can promise you there are more than that", in reference to the state having found only two votes cast by felons.
 * Jeffrey Clark, acting assistant attorney general for the U.S. Justice Department's civil division, two felonies including, "criminal intent to commit false statements and writings". Allegedly "solicited Acting United States Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and Acting United States Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue to sign and send "a letter he had drafted to the state Legislature of Georgia, which falsely claimed the DOJ had "identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple States, including the State of Georgia." The request was rejected and the letter was not sent.
 * Ray Smith III, Trump campaign attorney, 12 felonies. Accused of: soliciting Georgia state senators to violate their oaths of office "by unlawfully appointing presidential electors from the State of Georgia"; on December 14, 2020, encouraging Trump elector nominees to sign a "Certificate of the Votes of the 2020 Electors from Georgia", despite Trump having lost the election.
 * Bob Cheeley, lawyer, 10 felonies. Allegedly participated in the December 14 fraudulent vote certification meeting. Also accused of perjury before a grand jury for testimony related to the same meeting.
 * Mike Roman, Trump campaign director, seven felonies. Allegedly he "instructed individuals associated with the Trump Campaign to populate entries on a shared spreadsheet listing Trump presidential elector nominees in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin."
 * David Shafer, former Georgia GOP chair and fake elector, eight felonies. Presided over December 14 electoral vote meeting. Accused of wrongfully casting his vote for Trump, and signing the fraudulent electoral vote certificate.
 * Shawn Still, fake elector, seven felonies. Accused of "impersonating a public officer" by posing as a "qualified presidential elector" at December 14 meeting.

The following are mainly indicted for attempting to influence a Fulton County election worker:


 * Steve Lee, pastor from Illinois, five felonies. Accused of going to the residence of Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman "with intent to influence her testimony in an official proceeding in Fulton County".
 * Harrison Floyd, Black Voices for Trump leader, three felonies, including attempting to influence witnesses. The indictment alleges that Lee asked Floyd to help him speak with Freeman, a black woman, because she was afraid to talk to "a white man". Floyd allegedly told Freeman "that she needed protection and purported to offer her help."
 * Trevian Kutti, publicist from Chicago, three felonies. Allegedly participated in the attempts to influence Freeman's testimony. She is accused of: visiting Freeman's home, falsely telling a neighbor that "she was a crisis manager attempting to 'help' Freeman"; meeting with Freeman at the Cobb County PD for over an hour, again under the pretense of offering help; asking Freeman to give false testimony.

The following are mainly indicted for breaching Coffee County election equipment:


 * Cathy Latham, former Coffee County GOP leader and fake elector, 11 felonies. Accused of: "felony computer trespass" and "computer invasion of privacy" for breaching Coffee County election equipment to copy their data.


 * Misty Hampton (a.k.a Emily Misty Hayes), then the Coffee County elections supervisor, seven felonies. According to the Washington Post, shortly after the election, she produced a viral video allegedly documenting vulnerabilities in Dominion Voting Systems equipment. She told the Post that Hall and the other defendants had not gone into a room containing touch-screen voting machines, but had no knowledge of whether they had been in the server room containing the computer that tabulates ballots. She is accused of "willfully and unlawfully tampering with electronic ballot markers and tabulating machines" and "unlawful possession of ballots," along with Latham, Hall, and Powell.

There is overlap with the co-conspirators mentioned in the federal indictment of Trump issued two weeks earlier. In the federal indictment, Giuliani was listed as co-conspirator No. #1, Eastman was #2, Powell was #3, Clark was #4, and Chesebro was #5. All five of these people, though not charged in the federal prosecution, are charged as co-defendants in the Georgia prosecution. (Co-conspirator No. #6 in the federal indictment has not yet been conclusively identified by the public.)

Unindicted co-conspirators
The indictment references 30 "unindicted co-conspirators" who allegedly participated in some of the same criminal activities with the 19 defendants. These 30 people are not named in the indictment, but referred to by number. CNN, Just Security, The Washington Post and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution independently cross-referenced details in the indictment with already public information which does name the involved individuals, allowing many of them to be identified.

The indictment mentions Jones over a dozen times, including the allegation of being a fake elector.

Publicly available information has not conclusively tied them to a specific unindicted co-conspirator.
