California sheriff running for governor seizes more than a half million ballots from 2025 election | Fortune
"This investigation is simple: Physically count the ballots and compare that result with the total votes reported."
"I have a duty to investigate alleged crime in Riverside County."
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has seized over half a million ballots from a November special election, claiming a ballot count discrepancy. County election officials dispute his claims, and California Attorney General Rob Bonta calls the move unprecedented. Bianco initiated the investigation after a local citizens group raised concerns about the election results, where a measure to redraw congressional district lines passed by over 80,000 votes. Bianco insists the investigation is unrelated to his gubernatorial campaign.
