Why we used this label
Clarissa Cervantes supports the court's rejection of Bianco's ballot seizure. Cervantes welcomed the ruling as protection for voters against political interference.
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco seized about 650,000 ballots in early 2026 under search warrants, citing a disputed vote discrepancy. The California Supreme Court held the seizure unlawful; Bianco says his investigation was lawful and disagrees with the ruling.
