EXCERPT:
The Los Angeles mayoral primary election raised an eyebrow for voters and onlookers alike. This is California, after all.
While incumbent Democratic Mayor Karen Bass secured her spot on the ballot for the city’s general election in November, Republican Spencer Pratt was not so fortunate.
Pratt lost out on the second-place spot needed to advance over Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
The story of Pratt’s defeat unfortunately sounds all too familiar with positive results early on, only for mail-in ballots for Raman to come in just when they were needed.
It’s not just mere suspicion that something was off. One woman working in a ballot processing center spoke out on social media platform X about what she personally witnessed.
Jennifer Callahan made an X post with a few important notes.
“Signatures only need to be 40% accurate (!) this is the setting the machines are set at for LA County (called the ASV),” she wrote.
