CA-GOV: Bonta Bianco Legal Battles Continues
On Sunday, News Channel 3 was the first to report a statement from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department related to Chad Bianco’s recent seizure of ballots from the 2025 Special Election. “We are on hold because of the politically motivated lawsuits and court filings,” the statement read regarding what appears to be Bianco’s politically motivated special investigation into last year’s election.
This action came as a surprise.
Friday evening, Attorney General Rob Bonta filed an emergency petition with the court to stop Riverside County Sheriff and current Republican governor candidate Chad Bianco from recounting more than 650,000 ballots he seized from election officials. The courts however disagreed. A three-judge panel quickly denied Bonta’s attempt to stop the recount. With the court having initially allowed Bianco’s actions to continue, Sunday’s statement appears to be in response to the court’s decision to hold a more expanded hearing on the issue on Monday, March 30.
During a press conference on March 20, Bianco said he was investigating a discrepancy in the number of votes counted during the 2025 special election.
