Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has seized over half a million ballots and is currently investigating the 2025 special election due to discrepancies in the number of votes. His actions have drawn scrutiny at the state level, particularly from California Attorney General Rob Bonta, with whom Bianco has clashed over allegations of voter fraud and interference. The Sheriff claims that Bonta is attempting to intimidate and undermine his investigation into the alleged irregularities surrounding the election. As tensions rise between local and state officials, the probe into these alleged election irregularities continues to unfold.
