Applaud California for Defending Free and Fair Elections

California leaders are taking action to protect our democracy — and it deserves recognition.

Attorney General Rob Bonta and voting rights advocates have filed legal challenges to stop a Republican sheriff from seizing and recounting hundreds of thousands of ballots in Riverside County — a move that experts say threatens election integrity and violates the law.

This unprecedented ballot seizure risks undermining public trust, misusing law enforcement power, and setting a dangerous precedent where elections can be interfered with for political gain.

Free and fair elections depend on clear rules, transparency, and respect for the democratic process — not partisan overreach.

By stepping in, California is defending voters, safeguarding election systems, and ensuring that the will of the people is respected.

Add your name to applaud this effort to protect voting rights and stand up for democracy.
