IE United Executive Director Sky Allen was recently quoted in The Press-Enterprise regarding ongoing concerns surrounding Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco’s election investigation and the judicial warrants used to seize more than 650,000 ballots connected to the November 2025 Proposition 50 election.
The article examined questions about judicial impartiality, public trust, and the role of law enforcement in election administration after Riverside Superior Court Judge Jay Kiel, who previously publicly praised and endorsed Sheriff Bianco, approved multiple search warrants tied to the investigation.
“I do think it’s inappropriate and it reads very political,” Allen told The Press-Enterprise.

IE United continues to advocate for transparent, accountable, and democratic public institutions throughout the Inland Empire.
