In a statement, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the decision "reins in" Bianco, who is one of two major Republican candidates in June's upcoming gubernatorial primary election.
Bianco's office seized more than 611,000 ballots from the election in which voters overwhelmingly approved a congressional redistricting plan spearheaded by Gov. Gavin Newsom. Wednesday's order requires the office to preserve all of those ballots.
Bianco says the investigation is simply a "fact-finding mission."
Secretary of State Shirley Weber says the probe risks "undermining public confidence in our elections."
"The Supreme Court has also agreed to review this case on the merits — a necessary and appropriate response to what is a clearly an unprecedented situation," Bonta said. "We look forward to briefing the Court."
Local election officials say the vote-counting discrepancy is much closer to 100 than the more than 45,000 that the sheriff alleges. The Riverside County Registrar of Voters said it "will continue to comply with all lawful court orders and with all legal obligations applicable to election materials and election administration."
