California Supreme Court Halts Sheriff’s Bogus Voter Fraud Probe
The California Supreme Court has ordered Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to halt his investigation into alleged fraud concerning the November special election. This pause comes as the court agreed to review the case itself, following Sheriff Bianco’s seizure of over 650,000 ballots. The investigation, which Sheriff Bianco stated was initiated after a citizen group claimed to find irregularities, has been criticized by California Attorney General Rob Bonta as a misuse of investigatory tools. The special election in question involved a ballot measure to approve a new congressional map, which voters ultimately passed.
