Fed-Up Citizens Sue New York AG Letitia James for Voter Intimidation and Election Misconduct

Isn’t it finally time Americans played offense against tyrants?

In a federal courthouse in Albany, a group of ordinary New Yorkers has taken an extraordinary stand: they’re suing New York State Attorney General Letitia James and top election officials, accusing them of retaliating against citizens who dared to question the integrity of the state’s voting system. The lawsuit, filed October 16th by the nonprofit RealAmerica.Vote on behalf of NY Citizens Audit, isn’t just about one election—it’s a cry for every American who believes their vote should count, and that those in power must answer when it doesn’t—something the law requires.

It started with volunteers. Moms, retirees, small-business owners—people like you and me—traveled county by county, poring over public records alongside experts in data analytics and computer programming. What they found wasn’t conspiracy, it was evidence from New York’s own documents: voter rolls with millions of errors, unreconcilable tallies, a “Loss of Control” cyber breach, and procedures that violated state and federal laws. They compiled reports, including a peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Information Warfare and shared them with officials, asking a simple question: Can you fix this?

Instead of answers, they got threats.

State officials labeled them “malicious” and “anti-democratic,” preemptively interfering with their representation. Then came the hammer: Attorney General Letitia James publicly launched a criminal investigation under the Ku Klux Klan Act—implying that the election audits were racially motivated—turning laws meant to protect civil rights against the very citizens they are supposed to defend. As a result, over a thousand volunteers quit in fear, some having received menacing letters. Others worried about their families. One volunteer said: “I just wanted my grandkids to grow up in a country where their voice matters. I never thought asking questions would make me a target.”

But they didn’t stay silent.

On October 28, just steps from the White House at the historic Hay-Adams hotel, the remaining citizens who refused to be intimidated stood together. Marly Hornik, CEO of RealAmerica.Vote and a plaintiff in the suit, spoke with quiet steel: “We’re not going away. And we’re not asking for permission to hold our government accountable.”

The lawsuit doesn’t just allege wrongdoing—it demands reform. It accuses officials of suppressing evidence of illegal voting, defaming citizens, and violating constitutional rights under the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments. Most powerfully, it invokes Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution: that the people—not failing bureaucrats—choose their representatives. New York State’s official election records are wildly out of compliance with this requirement; their actions show they intend to remain that way.

If the court agrees, the impact could reverberate nationwide and beyond. The suit seeks a court-ordered, independent audit of New York’s entire election system—from voter registration through certification—conducted by a bonded, insured, certified external firm. It’s a standard used in banking, business, healthcare, and infrastructure. Why not elections? Without this, official explanations waving away as much as 25% error in elections are mere guesses, “explaining” a stunning lack of compliance that authorizes government officials at every level as legitimate.

Already, 92 town boards across New York have passed resolutions supporting an audit. They’re not playing politics—they’re tired of being dismissed.

This isn’t about overturning results. It’s about trust. When election officials hide data, defame and investigate critics, and wield century-old anti-KKK laws against concerned citizens, they erode the founding principle of self-government. And when that happens, we all lose—regardless of party. Hornik put it plainly: “I keep looking for the ‘Take Our Word For It’ Clause of the US Constitution—it’s just not in there. We are tired of election officials and their hocus pocus. It’s time the American people got answers.”

Stakes for Our Nation

The case is now in the hands of a federal judge, yet its message belongs to every American. You don’t need to be in a courtroom to demand transparency. You don’t need a law degree to demand honesty from those entrusted with your vote.

As one volunteer said, voice cracking with emotion: “We’re doing this for our kids. So they never have to wonder if their vote was heard—or if speaking up made them a criminal.”

In a democracy, courage shouldn’t be required to ask for fairness. But when it is, these New Yorkers have shown the rest of the country how it’s done.

RealAmerica.Vote has made the full complaint available on their website. They’re asking citizens to read it, share it, and support the legal fight. Because this isn’t just New York’s battle. It’s every American’s, all across the United States.

When there are serious legal questions about the legitimacy and loyalty of 28 members of Congress, it affects everyone.
