The petitioners/contestors are Chris Coomer, Jeanni Abston, Ronnie C. Rodgers, and Charles E. Handy who are represented by Counsel David C. Nunery of Nunery & Call, PLLC, Campbellsville, KY. (Author's note: Two individuals requested name clarification -- petitioner Chris Coomer is not the one at Jane's Fertilizer, and Jeanni Abston is not the one who works at Betty's OK Country Cooking).

Named in the suit is the Adair County Board of Elections and its members, Billy Curry, Lisa Greer, Benjamin Loy, and Harrison Moss.
