Bost v. Illinois Bd. of Elections · ¶85

Justice Barrett nevertheless suggests that the forgiving standard for motions to dismiss is enough to get Bost over the line. See ante, at 85, n. (opinion concurring in judgment). But that standard cannot benefit a plaintiff like Bost, who is “armed with nothing more than conclusions.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U. S. 662, 678–679 (2009).Bost's complaint identifes only a “speculative chain of possibilities,” and, as such, his allegations are insufficient to establish a reasonable probability of future harm. Clapper, 568 U. S., at 414.
