🚨"Newsome is PANICKING" - Newsome PANICKS as California Election FRAUD EXPLODES. 700k Ballots SEIZED

And we're back. And we're back, y'all.

Thank you for watching today. Go ahead

and hit that like button, my people. You

know that it helps us out a ton. And of

course, it helps you because it helps us

keep bringing you these stories every

day. Now y'all, we're following up on

the California ballot initiative scandal

where a California sheriff, who is also

running for governor of California, he

seized over 650,000

ballots in what looks like it might have

been some kind of vote irregularity on

Prop 50, which we're going to take a

look at here in a moment, y'all. But

now, not only has he seized additional

ballots past the original 650,000,

but also now an organization has sued to

stop his investigation. So now it's

temporarily on pause, y'all. Just a

whole lot going on with that. And also

we're going to remind you that at the

same time, in the meantime and in

between time, James O'Keeffe did an

investigative report in California and

found that homeless people allegedly

have been paid to register to vote, have

been paid to do voting related

activities, y'all. So, we're going to

flash back to that as well. I I

shouldn't even say flashback. That just

happened within the past few weeks as

well, y'all. So, we're going to cover

all of this here, get you all the way up

to date. Without further ado, y'all,

let's go ahead and get into it.

>> Tonight, we've learned Riverside County

Sheriff and GOP candidate for governor,

Chad Biano, seized hundreds of boxes of

additional ballots this week. That's on

top of the 600,000 he obtained last

month as part of his controversial

investigation into the last statewide

election. CBSLA political reporter Tom

Wait is here. And Tom, the state

attorney general was in court today

trying to stop Bianca. Yeah, he was in

Riverside County Court and now we have

even more breaking news in this case and

let's get to it right now. So, tonight

the legal battle between state attorney

general and Riverside County Sheriff

Chad Biano is escalating. We just

learned a few moments ago that Bont is

asking for an emergency hearing from the

state supreme court to block Biano's

attempted recount of the Prop 50 special

election. Biano says he's disgusted by

Bont's actions. Riverside County Sheriff

Chad Biano continues to ramp up his

controversial investigation into last

fall's Prop 50 special election. We

learned Friday Biano ordered the seizure

of an additional 426 boxes of ballots

from the Riverside County Registar of

Voters. That's in addition to more than

600,000 ballots seized last month

through a warrant.

>> The undermining of the registar of

voters for political gain. Local

community activists say Biano is

attacking democracy.

>> This is a campaign stunt.

This is political theater.

>> Sheriff Biano, who is running as a

Republican candidate for governor, is

also under fire from state attorney

general Rob Bont. On Friday, Bont asked

a Riverside County judge to order Biano

to stop his investigation, calling the

ballot seizure illegal. Biano says he

seized the ballots to conduct his own

recount after a citizens group claimed

there were 45,000 questionable votes in

Riverside County in the Prop 50 special

election. So there you can see Biano

seized not only the initial cash of

ballots, but also seized, I would

imagine, thousands and thousands more

ballots after that initial story broke.

And now we're going to take a look at

what what precipitated all of this or

what what came before this, y'all? what

maybe what led up to this massive

seizure of ballots. We went back and

checked and the group behind the audit

presented their findings at a Riverside

County Supervisor's meeting just weeks

before the ballots were seized.

>> All we're asking artist is where's the

paperwork? Where are the ballot

statements for 45,896?

At that same meeting, Riverside County

registar of voters Art Tanokco gave a

detailed presentation explaining why the

citizens group's numbers did not add up.

You are using raw raw data. That is,

none of these envelopes have gone

through any signature verification. In

there, you're going to find spoiled

ballots. You're going to have ballots

that were never signed. Sheriff Biano in

a statement blasted Bont and anyone

questioning his investigation, saying

he's simply trying to determine the

validity of fraud allegations, going on

to say the only question that should be

asked is why anyone would not want an

investigation to occur. UCLA's Voting

Rights Project, who was asking the

California Supreme Court to shut down

Bianca's investigation, says Biano is

not just breaking the law, but also

breaking public trust. What's happening

here in Riverside County is that the

ballots have been removed from the

trained election staff, which state law

says it shouldn't happen. Whoever does

the count when it's done in secret, at

least some group of people aren't going

to believe it.

>> We asked Biano for an interview this

evening. We were told he was not

available. We followed up with questions

about why he did not allow a nonpartisan

elections officials to conduct a

recount. We did not hear back. Okay, so

y'all, we have the initial seizure of

ballots, which were hundreds of

thousands of ballots. And then we have a

follow-up seizure, which apparently

would have been at least many, many

thousands more ballots. But now we have

organizations that have opposed this

entire operation, y'all, and have at

least for the time being successfully

stopped the sheriff from continuing with

this investigation. Well, the fight

continues in court tonight after

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Biano

seized hundreds of thousands of ballots

to investigate potential voter fraud. As

always, thank you so much for joining

us. I'm Alex Bell. Weeks after Biano's

office collected boxes of ballots from

last November's Prop 50 election and

Attorney General Rob Bont sent letters

and filed a petition to stop the

investigation. Things now appear to be

paused. I want to bring in ABC 10's

Genie Nuin who is here with the latest

updates on this case and also the

investigation. Alex, just today, Sheriff

Chad Biano told ABC 10 he is putting a

hold on his investigation into claims of

election fraud. This comes after the

attorney general and the UCLA Voting

Rights Project filed with the courts to

demand Biano to stop his investigation.

Now, even though this fight is far from

over, the Voting Rights Project believes

so far this is a win for them.

There are specific procedures that are

in place to ensure that the secrecy of

the ballots and the integrity of the

elections are preserved and those

specific procedures are what the UCLA

voting rights project wants Riverside

County Sheriff Chad Biano to abide by

during this contentious election season.

Partnered with the former attorney

general and gubanatorial candidate

Javier Basera, the organization filed

this petition to stop Sheriff Biano from

seizing any additional ballots. We're

asking the Supreme Court to intervene.

And the more ballots being seized,

again, the um the more mishandling of

the ballots that are happening. And

again, that's that's a huge threat to

the integrity of the election and the

integrity of any recount that takes

place.

>> So, that's where we stand now, y'all.

Everything is currently on pause, on

hold. But as I said in the beginning of

this video, y'all, not only do you have

this situation, but you also have James

O'Keefe's investigation, which seems to

indicate that homeless people have been
