March 25 (UPI) -- A court denied the California attorney general's request to stop a county sheriff's investigation into election fraud Tuesday.
The case was filed by Attorney General Rob Bonta, who said the denial was based on a technicality. The court's rejection is "based solely on where we filed the case and is not a ruling on the underlying of the petition," Bonta's office said.
"The facts have not changed. The Riverside County Sheriff continues to directly defy the Attorney General's instructions, in violation of the California Constitution and state law," Bonta's office said. "We are evaluating next steps to ensure a swift and appropriate resolution to this matter."
Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is running for California governor, said Friday that he is investigating allegations by an activist group that alleged the reported tallies don't match the ballots in the 2025 special election for Proposition 50, asking voters for endorsement to redraw the congressional districts in response to other Republican-led states, like Texas, redrawing their districts to pick up seats.
