California Supreme Court halts Riverside ballot-seizure probe
TL;DR Summary
The California Supreme Court ordered Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to pause the investigation into alleged 2025 election fraud and preserve more than 650,000 seized ballots while it reviews the petition for review, effectively halting the probe as litigation continues. Attorney General Rob Bonta praised the ruling, which stops Bianco’s actions amid a contested special election on a new Democratic-drawn congressional map; a coalition of media outlets is seeking to unseal the warrant tied to the ballot seizure.
