How Xavier Becerra’s wingman, Rob Bonta, seems determined to ensure that nothing gets in the way of Becerra’s gubernatorial victory in November.
The carnival midway has always run on the same principle: the games look fair, but the house always wins. In Riverside County, California, that same principle appears to have been applied to an election.
After a citizen audit uncovered a discrepancy of roughly 45,896 ballots in the November 2025 special election on Proposition 50 (affecting redistricting), Sheriff Chad Bianco’s investigators obtained search warrants, seized more than 650,000 ballots, and began a criminal investigation. Within weeks, California Attorney General Rob Bonta intervened, raced the matter to the state Supreme Court, and obtained a pause that has effectively frozen the investigation. Oral arguments are set for August 24, 2026, with a ruling due within 90 days—potentially after the midterms.
This is not a complicated conspiracy theory. It is a straightforward case of alleged election irregularities followed by aggressive lawfare, including interference, obstruction, and abuse of power, to prevent those irregularities from being examined. All this regarding one of the cleanest, most actionable election-integrity cases in the country if the federal government acts before the midterms.
The Facts of the Sheriff Bianco Case
In early 2026, the Riverside Election Integrity Team (REIT), a local citizen group, completed an audit of the November 2025 special election using the county’s own official records. Their analysis identified a discrepancy of approximately 45,896 ballots between ballots received and ballots counted.
REIT has conducted detailed, document-based audits for several election cycles. The forensic Audit Team associated with REIT produced conclusions serious enough that Attorney John Eastman’s firm filed an amicus curiae brief in the California Supreme Court. REIT’s audit report is part of the court record, and their core finding remains unrebutted: the numbers could not be

The actions to block the investigation are telling.
45,896 more than received, or fewer than received?
Riverside County Sheriff’s Office Investigating Alleged Election Irregularities
So they dumped in enough RAT votes to guarantee a win, right?
California style voting - no ID required, everyone gets at least one ballot (my neighbor got three), motor-voter guarantees that illegals will vote b/c driver’s licenses are legal for illegals in the state.
30 days to count (and create) votes - and vote harvesting legal.
Fraud is rampant. I have highly educated, politically savvy friends who no longer bother to vote b/c the system is so rigged for the Democrats.
ya gotta give those Democrats props for enthusiastic diligence for their work.
Anything to keep their filthy hands in the till.
apparently, one county in CA has more easy to find election fraud then the found in all the red states put together. dominion is evil.
that being said, i don’t believe, it’s the fault of law enforcement there. i’m not surprised by Riverside and area being a hot bed of integrity in a foul sea of corruption that is CA. my best friend, best friend’s dad, some of my best sports teammates, and others i knew well ended up having careers in law enforcement in Riverside Co. Riverside has always had some of the better police, fire and sheriffs departments in CA, due to the integrity and godliness of people i have known and grew up with there. my friends there have butted heads many times with the politicos there.
Democrats don’t care about any stinking smoking guns in California. They own the elections.
