Hey #California, the third-place-polling #Republican governor candidate Sheriff Chad Bianco has just seized 650,000 ballots from Riverside County, under the pretense of a “fact-finding mission” to see if some kind of crime has been committed during the Prop 50 vote—the one that asserts that California can use an older district map for the 2028 map. He did this despite AG Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s assertion that his actions were “outside the law”, and despite the fact that Prop 50 passed by a whopping 64%, and that this investigation will do nothing to change its outcome.

Bianco apparently got a judge to sign off on a search warrant, but the article doesn’t say who it was that signed it.

Bianco is a hard-right Trumper, and a frequent proponent of the kinds of voter-fraud conspiracies that drive the far right. He’s showing that he will use the Sheriff’s office to sow chaos in California to help Trump.

He must be defeated at the polls.
