The LA Mayoral Election is Being Stolen

In this FrontPage Magazine article, Daniel Greenfield argues that the Los Angeles mayoral race is being manipulated through late-arriving ballots that are allegedly helping third-place candidate Nithya Raman overtake Spencer Pratt for a runoff spot against Mayor Karen Bass.

• Greenfield claims the pattern resembles the previous Los Angeles mayoral election, in which he says Karen Bass benefited heavily from late-arriving ballots after initially underperforming.
• The central allegation is that Spencer Pratt finished second on Election Night, but later ballot updates began moving Raman closer to overtaking him.
• Greenfield argues it is not credible for a third-place candidate who was “in the twenties” on Election Night to receive such a large share of late-arriving ballots.
• He rejects the common explanation that Democrats generally perform better in later-counted ballots, saying the late votes appear to favor whichever Democrat most needs them.
• The article frames the issue as a credibility problem for Los Angeles election administration, especially because the political machinery overseeing the process is controlled by the same party benefiting from the late vote shifts.
• Greenfield also points to turnout as suspicious, claiming it somehow exceeded the 2022 mayoral election despite that race being more high-profile.
• The piece presents the situation as an attempt to keep Pratt out of the runoff by allowing Raman to surpass him after Election Night.
• Overall, the article argues that the late-ballot trend is too convenient and too politically targeted to be trusted.
