California Supreme Court Orders Sheriff Chad Bianco to Halt Election Fraud Investigation
The California Supreme Court ordered Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to stop his investigation into a 2025 special election. The court's ruling requires the sheriff to pause the seizure of more than 650,000 ballots while the case is under review. This legal intervention follows a challenge to the sheriff's authority to lead an independent fraud probe. Critics of the investigation described the court's decision as a victory for the rule of law. The sheriff is also required to preserve the ballots he already collected until the court makes a final determination on the matter.
