California Supreme Court Orders Sheriff to Halt Election Investigation.

[0311]

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a candidate for governor, had seized ballots from a 2025 special election based on unsubstantiated claims of election irregularities.

The California Supreme Court ordered a local sheriff on Wednesday to halt an investigation into the 2025 election that prompted him to seize more than 650,000 ballots from a local election office.

The sheriff, Chad Bianco, a Republican from Riverside County and a candidate for governor, opened the probe into last year’s special election in late February after a group of election activists claimed that vote tallies did not match the number of ballots received. Local authorities swiftly debunked the report.

But Mr. Bianco continued to pursue his investigation, seizing more election materials in late March over the objections of the attorney general of California and the secretary of state, both of whom claimed Mr. Bianco’s efforts were based on unsubstantiated claims and risked undermining faith in elections.

This was noting more cheap political theater for Bianco. He never had the authority to demand the ballots in first place, he even so far as to say the California State Supreme Count had no authority to stop him. What really hurts him now is that Trump did not even endorse him.

What are they afraid of?

The best way to cheat on elections is to stop all investigations into cheating.

I don't think they have a leg to stand on as far as stopping an investigation in the Sheriff's own county.....An elected sheriff wields a lot of power.

That's why cities often limit their county's SD to the county courthouse and appoint a Sheriff.

Loudoun County here in Virginia is trying that crap now.

So investigating possible election fraud now somehow undermines elections? There's some mental gymnastics.

The best way to cheat on elections is to stop all investigations into cheating.

Or to take the ballots and then do something to them, and then claim cheating.

1. NO local authorities have the power to possible Electy y/Vote Fraud,.

2. The power to investigate possible Election/Voter Fraud rests with the Attorney General/Secretary of State in and for the State of California.

3. NO evidence of Election/Voter Fraud in Riverside County has been brought forward. NO evidence =NO proof = LIES.

The bluer the area, the more fraud and corruption their is.

Democrats = traitors

Trump hired two firms to investigate his made up claims about election fraud and they BOTH concluded the claims were false! HAHAHA. That is on top of Trump losing 62 cases in court due to zero evidence. Trump literally proved himself to be liar. Why wouldn't i believe all that?

He can tell the CSC to GFI.

If he does, the court can remove him for misconduct.

What law is that?

 

[candycorn]

What law is that?

That individual votes are private and no public official should be able to see who you voted for; let alone someone with power to arrest and incarcerate you for voting for their opponent in an election.

Your feeling is not a law. Are you saying once a ballot is casted, no one can review the authenticity of the ballot?
