Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is a leading Republican candidate for governor, has seized more than 650,000 ballots from last November’s election and is investigating whether they were fraudulently counted.
“This investigation is simple: Physically count the ballots and compare that result with the total votes recorded,” Bianco said at a news conference Friday.
The unusual probe drew a sharp rebuke from California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta, who said in a statement Friday that it is “unprecedented in both scope and scale” and appears “not to be based on facts or evidence.”
They don’t want an accurate account so that way they can make up whatever number they want…
they’re going to bungle it intentionally so they can point to inaccuracies and claim california’s 2026 vote is fraudulent. let me tell you how i know: they did not hire qualified auditors. you want this done right, Ernst&Young or KPMG are the only folk for the job. hell, pwc would do it honorably and the republicans and them have a history.
also they are republicans, but like, there are professional, unbiased reasons too why this is pure partisan poppycock
