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 already sort of are and that’s a good thing. The way some elections work is there’s a representative from both parties observing and counting the ballots. Then they can both check each other’s work and make sure everything’s above board.
This is why the whole election denial stuff is even more bullshit, they have official observers in there who can blow the whistle if they see anything but they never do. So they just rely on “reports” of other outside observers who think every truck moving around a polling spot is full of fraudulent ballots.
It probably shouldn’t be just election workers as they’re just selected by whoever applies to a temp job for a day or two, and it wouldn’t take much for all those people to just happen to be partisans
That works during the election but what about this investigation? What keeps this guy from manipulating the evidence? He’s clearly neither objective nor trustworthy
