Riverside Superior Court Judge Dorothy McLaughlin granted California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s request for an expediting hearing schedule in his lawsuit against Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is investigating how the county processed ballots in November’s statewide Proposition 50 election.

Lindsay Bailey, a lawyer with the attorney general’s office, argued that the case warranted the fast track, given that the ballots seized by the sheriff are no longer in the custody of Riverside County’s registrar of voters and that Bianco continues to defy Bonta’s lawful directives.

Bianco’s lawyer, Robert Tyler, countered that the case involves complex legal matters that merit examination beyond a rushed lawyer’s brief. He also noted the sheriff has put his investigation on hold pending the outcome of this case and other legal challenges.

Those cases include a lawsuit filed by Bonta in the California Supreme Court that seeks to halt the investigation. Another state Supreme Court case, filed by the UCLA Voting Rights Project, aims to return the ballots seized by Bianco’s office to the county registrar.

When are we going to stop this cycle? Ever? Impossible? California is supposed to be the state of change. I am so tired of being trapped in the two party system. It does not work.

Ramsey Robinson has amazing policies and plans to take action on them within his first 100 days in office. While many are skeptical about 3rd parties, the recent winning NYC Mayor and president Teddy Roosevelt shows 3rd parties can win. Even the polls show that he has captured 30% of the polls "other votes". Not to mention a fully grassroots campaign with no pac or lobbying money.
