C.B. Yadav

Role

C.B. Yadav — Small-business owner, Camden County, Georgia; member, Georgians First Commission.

The Georgia elector certificate

C.B. Yadav was one of 16 Georgia Republicans who met at the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta on December 14, 2020 and signed a document declaring themselves "the duly elected and qualified Electors" for President and Vice President from Georgia for Donald Trump and Mike Pence. The claim was false: Georgia's certified electoral votes, reflecting Joe Biden's certified win in the state, were cast by Georgia's Biden-Harris electors the same day. Georgia's document, like Arizona's, Michigan's, Nevada's, and Wisconsin's, contained no conditional or contingency language.

Legal proceedings

C.B. Yadav was not indicted or charged in the Fulton County RICO case or in any other known criminal proceeding arising from the Georgia elector certificate.

On November 9, 2025, President Trump issued C.B. Yadav a federal pardon covering offenses related to the 2020 election. This pardon covers federal exposure only and has no legal effect on Georgia state proceedings.

Note

Named among individuals a special grand jury recommended for possible charges, but not indicted by the Fulton County District Attorney.
