Ballot seizure opinions filing tomorrow

David S. Ettinger September 23, 2026

Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinions in Attorney General v. Bianco and Cervantes v. Bianco.  (Briefs here; oral argument videos here and here.)

Both cases — argued at a rare special session just a month ago — involve the Riverside County Sheriff’s seizure of over 600,000 ballots that had been cast in the county at the November 2025 election.

More about the cases here, here, and here.

First District, Division Five, Court of Appeal Justice Gordon Burns is sitting as the pro tem on the cases.

The ballot-seizure opinions can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
