Democrats Rattled After California Sheriff Seizes 650,000 Ballots in Election Integrity Crackdown

Riverside County Sheriff and California gubernatorial candidate Chad Bianco has seized more than 650,000 ballots from last November’s election as part of an investigation into potential discrepancies in the county’s vote count.

The probe follows allegations from the Riverside Election Integrity Team that the county’s tally may have been inflated by more than 45,000 votes.

“This investigation is simple: Physically count the ballots and compare that result with the total votes recorded,” Bianco said at a Friday press conference.

He said the review will determine whether the results are accurate.

“There is no acceptable error, small or large, in our elections,” he said.

The investigation covers ballots tied to Proposition 50, which passed in Riverside County with 56 percent of the vote, a margin of more than 82,000 ballots.

Riverside County Registrar of Voters Art Tinoco said the alleged discrepancy stems from a misunderstanding of incomplete data.

He said the actual variance was 103 votes, or 0.016 percent.

Review of 50–60 MILLION Records Uncovers Thousands of Ineligible Registrations Including Non-Citizens Who VOTED — 300,000 DEAD People Still Listed

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon has revealed that a massive DOJ review of between 50 and 60 million voter records has uncovered hundreds of thousands of ineligible registrations, including over 300,000 DEAD people still listed as active voters and tens of thousands of non-citizens who have already cast ballots in federal elections.

As The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively, Dhillon’s team has been waging war on dirty voter rolls since President Trump took office.

Back in December 2025, we told you how an initial review of just 47.5 million records found 260,000+ dead voters and thousands of illegals registered to vote.

Now the numbers are even worse, and we’re only looking at a fraction of the states that actually cooperated.

Harmeet Dhillon:
We have run some records for some states. So, I think we’ve run something between 50 and 60 million voter records so far. And, you know, during this president’s tenure, we have found hundreds of thousands of people who shouldn’t be on the voter rolls—people who are dead, people who have moved, and duplicate registrations.

We have also found, separately, noncitizens on the voter rolls. And so now we’re doing our due diligence to identify the extent to which they may or may not have voted.

And sometimes people are enrolled on the voter rolls. We’ve just seen some crazy videos from California that show homeless people being used to sign petitions and register to vote or sign affidavits. You could sign ballots for somebody else and fill them in.

And that’s easy when you have a system where there’s no voter ID, right? Where ballots are being mailed to outdated voting lists.

This is not a fiction or a fantasy. Los Angeles County, in 2017, agreed in a lawsuit with Judicial Watch that there were over 1.1 million people in that county alone who should not have been on the voter rolls.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal BLATANTLY Lies: Claims Non-Citizen Voting Is “As Rare As Being Struck by Lightning” — Data Shows MILLIONS May Be Registered

In yet another example of Democrats downplaying serious election integrity concerns, Sen. Richard Blumenthal made a stunning claim on MSNOW Friday, insisting that non-citizen voting is “rare to the point of nonexistence”—even going so far as to compare it to being “struck by lightning.”

That statement is not just misleading—it directly contradicts available data.

Blumenthal’s comments came during a broader defense of Democrat opposition to election integrity measures, including provisions in the SAVE America Act that would require proof of citizenship to vote.

Rather than address the substance of those concerns, Blumenthal dismissed the issue entirely, telling viewers that non-citizen voting is essentially nonexistent and not a serious concern.

But the facts tell a very different story.

According to an analysis by Just Facts, cited by the Cato Institute, which builds on established academic methodologies, between 10% and 27% of non-citizen adults in the United States are illegally registered to vote.

With more than 19 million adult non-citizens recorded in the U.S. Census, that translates to roughly 2 million to 5 million illegal registrations nationwide. These numbers are large enough to influence major elections, including congressional races and even presidential outcomes.

This is not a new concern. A 2014 study published in the peer-reviewed journal Electoral Studies found similarly troubling trends. Researchers estimated that roughly one-quarter of non-citizens were registered to vote and that 6.4% reported actually voting.

Among those who voted, 81.8% said they supported Barack Obama. The authors concluded that illegal non-citizen votes likely affected key election outcomes, including Electoral College results and a pivotal Senate race that enabled Democrats to pass Obamacare.

The methodology behind those findings combined self-reported survey data with verified voter registration records, producing a best estimate that 25.1% of non-citizens were illegally registered to vote.

That estimate aligns closely with more recent analyses, reinforcing the conclusion that the issue is neither rare nor nonexistent.

Blumenthal’s “lightning strike” comparison collapses under even basic scrutiny.

‘WHO HAS THE BOXES?!’ Fulton County numbers don’t match after FBI seizure

Officials from Fulton County, Georgia, wanted to quash a subpoena from the Georgia State Board of Elections because providing “approximately 750 boxes” of material would be too burdensome.

Yet, when the FBI came knocking in a Jan. 28 raid, federal agents left with 656 boxes (653 by one count), prompting a top Georgia election official to wonder about the gap in the number.

“That’s almost 100 boxes of evidence,” Janice Johnston, vice chair of the Georgia State Election Board, told The Daily Signal.

She referenced one county affidavit that only estimated “over 700 boxes” at the county elections hub. She said, “Even 50 [extra] boxes would be a lot of evidence.”

In a post on X, Johnston posed the questions, “WHERE ARE 100 BOXES OF ELECTION DOCUMENTS?!! … WHO HAS THE BOXES?!!”

A rough estimate does not excuse such a large numerical disparity in an affidavit or court filings, Johnston said.

The State Election Board has since made a records request to the Fulton County Board of Elections to provide information about materials delivered or removed from storage in the four weeks preceding the FBI raid.

“Fulton County is effectively the person of interest in this case,” Johnston said. “We are not assured that everything was available.”

The FBI seized materials from the 2020 election that included ballots, tabulator tapes, and ballot images from a recount, Georgia Public Broadcasting reported, citing court documents that supported the search warrant. About 370,000 ballot images are missing, Johnston noted.

Three Women Indicted on 37 Counts in Alabama Ballot Fraud Scheme — Judge Orders Special Election After Rigged Absentee Votes Potentially Flipped the Race

Three Alabama women have been indicted on a staggering 37 combined criminal counts tied to an alleged ballot fraud scheme that may have altered the outcome of a local election.

According to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, Monroe County residents Sarah Bennett (60), Sharon Denson (67), and Samantha Kyles (46) were arrested and charged in connection with the August 26, 2025, Frisco City municipal election.

The charges are severe:

  • 17 counts of ballot harvesting
  • 20 counts of unlawful use of absentee ballots

Prosecutors allege the trio falsified absentee ballot applications and verification documents, while also illegally collecting and submitting ballots on behalf of multiple individuals, a direct violation of Alabama election law.

The criminal case follows a civil lawsuit filed by former Frisco City Mayor Allen Lang, who lost the election and is now challenging the results.

Lang’s lawsuit outlines what appears to be a coordinated scheme:

  • 131 illegal absentee ballots were allegedly counted
  • 85 individuals falsely claimed work conflicts to justify absentee voting
  • 33 voters falsely claimed disabilities
  • At least 13 non-residents voted in the election

Under Alabama law, according to Attorney General Steve Marshall:

  • Unlawful use of absentee ballots is a Class C felony, punishable by 1 year and 1 day up to 10 years in prison
  • Ballot harvesting is a Class A misdemeanor, carrying up to 1 year in jail

Bond amounts reflect the seriousness of the charges:

  • Bennett: $54,000 (18 counts)
  • Denson: $36,000 (12 counts)
  • Kyles: $21,000 (7 counts)

Wes Allen, Alabama’s Secretary of State, provided an election integrity update to Alabama voters following the recent arrests:

“The Secretary of State’s Office remains vigilant in its pursuit of election integrity and the protection of your vote. We will continue to assist law enforcement in every way possible as they investigate and prosecute violations of Alabama election law,” Allen said. “Absentee ballot harvesting is not being tolerated in Alabama. These arrests send a clear message to those contemplating violating Alabama election law.”

“Alabama law provides some of the strongest protections in the nation for our voters and imposes penalties on those who violate the law,” Allen said. “Thanks to the advocacy of my Office and every member of the Alabama Legislature that voted for SB1, Alabama votes are not for sale.”

HERE IT IS: Schumer Slips, Admits Illegal Aliens Vote in US Elections

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday admitted that illegal aliens vote in US elections.

Schumer made the admission during a marathon debate on the SAVE America Act on the Senate floor.

“The core of the bill is handing the voter rolls over to DHS, putting them through an algorithm designed by… Musk that knocks – supposedly knocks out illegal immigrants from voting – but the evidence is that almost no illegal immigrants vote!” Schumer said.

Shouldn’t Schumer be outraged by even one illegal immigrant vote that steals the vote of an American citizen?

The US Senate on Tuesday voted to advance the SAVE America Act in a 51-48 vote.

Earlier Tuesday, it was reported that allies of President Donald Trump are reportedly preparing to “take over the Senate floor” today to push for action on the SAVE America Act.

A marathon debate on the SAVE America Act is now underway.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump has already threatened to withhold his signature from all future legislation until the Senate delivers proof-of-citizenship voting requirements, strict voter ID, and an end to the Democrat-favorite mail-in ballot fraud machine.

Unfortunately, the SAVE America Act has stalled because it requires 60 votes in the Senate, and unless the filibuster is nuked, the measure is dead on arrival.

DOJ official Harmeet Dhillon said illegal aliens are registered to vote and they are voting.

“The review of 50–60 million voter records has revealed there are thousands of ineligible and outdated registrations—including non-citizens,” Harmeet said.

“Some of them voted. More to come!” Harmeet said on Tuesday.
