CA-GOV: California sheriff says his recount plan is on hold -- but has grabbed even more election records [View all]
With two legal challenges moving through California courts, a sheriff and Republican candidate for governor who seized 650,000 ballots cast in last year’s redistricting referendum has conceded that his mission to recount the votes is temporarily on pause.
But that doesn’t make his attack on free and fair elections any less alarming.
A court filing from last Thursday alleges that Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco seized even more ballots last week, and another local official with a history of making election fraud allegations had a hand in efforts to challenge the vote.
Earlier this month, Bianco seized the ballots and hastily began his own recount based on reports of a large discrepancy between ballots cast and ballots counted. On March 24, he seized an additional 426 boxes of ballot materials, according to a petition from the California Attorney General’s office.
