Bianco is one of two Republicans running for governor in a primary that includes more than half a dozen Democrats

A California sheriff, who is also a gubernatorial candidate, has seized more than half a million ballots from a November special election, citing an investigation into an alleged ballot count discrepancy.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Republican, took possession of the ballots from county election officials, who have publicly disputed his claims.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, condemned Bianco’s actions as unprecedented, suggesting they are intended to undermine public trust in the electoral process.
