The California Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to stop his investigation into ballots from the November special election that his office seized following accusations of voter fraud. Bianco, who is also running as a Republican candidate for governor, seized more than 650,000 ballots from the local election office as part of his investigation, which began in February. The sheriff followed a tip from a local community group that claimed the vote tallies did not match the official number of ballots cast.

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/57225583 [https://sh.itjust.works/post/57225583] Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is a leading Republican candidate for governor, has seized more than 650,000 ballots from last November’s election and is investigating whether they were fraudulently counted. “This investigation is simple: Physically count the ballots and compare that result with the total votes recorded,” Bianco said at a news conference Friday. "The unusual probe drew a sharp rebuke from California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta, who said in a statement Friday that it is “unprecedented in both scope and scale” and appears “not to be based on facts or evidence.” “There is no indication, anywhere in the United States, of widespread voter fraud,” Bonta said. “Counts, recounts, hand counts, audits, and court cases all support this.”

Riverside County Sheriff Pushes Forward with Ballot Review Amid Election Irregularity Claims - sh.itjust.works

The controversy centers on allegations from a local election integrity group, which claims that while approximately 611,000 ballots were cast, more than 657,000 votes were counted—suggesting a discrepancy of tens of thousands of ballots. These claims prompted the sheriff’s department to obtain search warrants in February, allowing access to ballots and election records from the county’s registrar of voters. Bianco confirmed that the department’s next step is a full physical count of ballots. Investigators will compare the number of physical ballots to official records and reported totals submitted to the state.
