加州最高法院裁定，河滨县共和党籍警长查德·比安科以选举欺诈调查为名非法没收的约65万张选票必须予以归还1234。法院认定这一扣押行为违反了选举法24，下令该警长停止进一步处理这些选票1。
比安科在2月份没收了这些选票，这些选票来自2025年11月举行的一次特殊选举1。该选举涉及州级国会重划，由州长加文·纽森推动且有利于民主党1。该选举在河滨县以约8万票的优势通过1。法院的这一判决确认了州政府对地方执法部门的权力4。
The California Supreme Court has ruled that Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco unlawfully seized approximately 650,000 ballots and must return them.1234 The Republican sheriff had confiscated the ballots in February while investigating alleged voter fraud related to a November 2025 special election on state legislative redistricting that was championed by Governor Gavin Newsom and favored Democrats, passing in the county by roughly 80,000 votes.1
The court determined that the ballot seizure violated election law and ordered the sheriff to cease further handling of the confiscated ballots.123 The decision affirms state authority over local law enforcement in matters concerning elections, establishing that the sheriff's confiscation—conducted under the pretext of a fraud investigation—exceeded legal boundaries.4 The ruling requires Bianco to restore the ballots to their proper custodians and effectively halts the investigation based on these materials.3
