• Was sheriff's seizure of 650,000 ballots legal? California Supreme Court weighs case (sanluisobispo.com) — Claremont briefly enters the statewide spotlight as Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco's gubernatorial debate at Pomona College is recalled amid a major legal fight over his seizure of 650,000 ballots.
