A California sheriff is questioning election integrity

from The Excerpt

The midterm elections are heating up and battlelines are being drawn in cities and towns across the country, in places like Riverside County California. That’s where a court battle is playing out between Sheriff Chad Bianco, a prominent election denier running for governor, and Democrats who say his seizure more than 60,000 ballots from a prior election is a political stunt that undermines public trust in voting. Even if you don’t call California home, it’s a political fight that could impact elections across the country. USA TODAY Domestic Security Correspondent Josh Meyer joins The Excerpt to talk about what’s happening in Riverside and how that might reverberate in other counties as well.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to [email protected]. Episode transcript available here. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
