CA-GOV: Who is Sheriff Chad Bianco (R), the California governor candidate who seized 650,000 ballots?
When Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco seized 650,000 ballots cast in Californias recent redistricting referendum, he opened a new front in the battle over the sanctity of election results.
His shocking actions came just weeks after the FBI raided a Georgia election hub to seize 2020 election ballots and subpoenaed files related to the 2020 vote in Arizona.
But whereas the FBI actions were clearly part of President Donald Trumps efforts to relitigate his loss in the 2020 presidential race, the Riverside County ballot seizure begged more basic questions: Who is Chad Bianco, and why would a county sheriff want to challenge the results of a special election?
In fact, a closer look reveals that Bianco has a long history of hardline conservative statements and his ballot seizure fits clearly into the Republican Partys broader attack on free and fair elections.
