← The California Supreme Court Rules Unanimously That Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco Broke the Law When He Seized 650,000 Ballots From the Redistricting Election — Rob Bonta Says He "Willfully Defied My Direct Orders," Gavin Newsom Says "in California We Will Defend Democracy — Using Every Branch of Government," and Bianco Says "Sacramento Shut It Down"
“He willfully defied my direct orders, misused criminal investigative tools and created a constitutional emergency in the process. … Going forward, there will also be criminal consequences to conduct such as this exhibited by Sheriff Bianco. … Whether it's a sheriff in Riverside or the President of the United States, we won't let anyone take away Californians' voice in our democracy. Come November, we're ready for whatever comes our way.
