GOP Candidate Seizes Over 500000 Ballots in Disputed Election Probe
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, also a gubernatorial candidate, has seized over half a million ballots from a recent special election, citing an investigation into alleged ballot count discrepancies. Election officials and California Attorney General Rob Bonta have publicly disputed Bianco’s claims, with Bonta condemning the sheriff’s actions as unprecedented and potentially undermining public trust in the electoral process. The probe was initiated following a complaint regarding a redistricting measure that passed by a significant margin, a move Bianco claims is unrelated to his campaign.
