A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What we found
Context. The GovInfo record shows a NDNY decision on August 7, 2026 in case 25-1447 naming Letitia James and the New York State Board of Elections as defendants, which matches the parties and court named in the claim.[3]
Context. That decision is described only as granting in part and denying in part a motion to dismiss; the excerpt does not show any ruling on qualified immunity or on personal-capacity liability for James or the Board.[3]
Context. Other sources concern different matters, such as the Sarcone subpoena appeal, the Protect Our Courts Act case, and the Wachter and Miller suits, and do not address the qualified-immunity ruling the claim describes.[1][2][4][5][6]
