for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia. Shafer, Still and Latham are charged with impersonating a public officer and forgery, among other crimes, after they allegedly met with 13 other individuals in December 2020 and put forward electors' certificates falsely stating that Trump won the state and declaring themselves the state's "duly elected and qualified" electors.
David Shafer, Shawn Still and Cathy Latham are seen in mugshots provided by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office in Georgia, Aug. 23, 2023.Shafer, Still and Cathy Latham have argued in court filings that they qualify for removal because they were acting as federal officials, under federal authority, in their role as alternate electors.
But that argument has drawn sharp rebuke from the Fulton County DA's office, who said the individuals "falsely impersonated" real electors and do not qualify for removal.
