Multiple sources, including an AP tier1 report, quote Judge David O. Carter saying at the Tuesday October 27 hearing that threats to state and county elected employees should cease immediately, so the core assertion holds.

The host relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

What we found

Supports. AP reports Carter stated: "This court believes it would be wise that any threats to state and county election employees cease immediately," concluding the Tuesday hearing.[1]

Supports. Multiple outlets (IJPR, CalMatters, SF Chronicle, OPB) quote Carter's same warning and his written ruling that "these threats must stop."[2][3][4][5]

Context. The claim's "must cease" is stronger than Carter's "it would be wise that" phrasing; the sources frame it as advisory, though the written ruling says "these threats must stop."[1][5]

Context. The post says Carter spoke "yesterday" (October 27), which matches the Tuesday hearing reported across sources, so the timing is consistent.[6][7]
