Election Interference: L.A. County Supervisors Want Power to Remove Sheriff Alex Villanueva If He Wins





"It has become increasingly clear that the sheriff's blatant disregard for transparency and accountability requires a more forceful response," their motion says.

Villanueva has said that he has no plans to quit and that supervisors looking to undo the results of a lawful election could trigger a legal battle that would cost millions of dollars.

Legal and governance experts said there are limited options in removing an elected officer short of a recall or their committing a crime.

"There are plenty of checks and balances already in place," said former L.A. County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley. "The only way that some of these harebrained ideas will ever reach fruition is if the [state] Constitution is changed. ... If they change the Constitution, that would impact every single one of California's 58 elected sheriffs."

"When you're elected, it means something," said Frank V. Zerunyan, a professor on the practice of governance at USC. Villanueva "was elected — he's using the Constitution to his favor, rightfully so, to be honest. I can't blame him for saying what he's saying."

Yep...
Their media will spin it to make it appear, that upholding the Constitution is wrong.
The left hate laws that stop their corruption.
