So… we’re expected to believe that in California, out of three candidates, the third place candidate, who conceded her campaign because she was mathematically eliminated from the run-off, suddenly received tens of thousands of votes from mail-in votes which all came in *after* Election Day, while the other two candidates received no late mail-in votes, and the second place candidate (who was surging as a Republican candidate in the bluest state in the country) is now in third place and mathematically eliminated from the run-off.
… and we’re supposed to trust that this is an honest and true election.
If you’re not angry about this, you need to be.

🚨 Spencer Pratt just got passed up by Nithya Raman tonight and dropped to last place. They stole the election using Democrat NGOs to register the homeless in skid row using fake addresses. That’s the steal and they did it right in front of our eyes! 😡🤬

JUST IN: 🚨 Socialist Nithya Raman just surged into 2nd place in the LA Mayoral Race, steamrolling over Spencer Pratt. Nothing to see here, folks… just business as usual in the People’s Republic of Los Angeles.

@joelpollak *Poll says nearly the exact result of the election*
Joel: “Who could’ve possibly predicted this?!”
English
The problem is it’s impossible to know.

I was willing to chalk up Raman's comeback to 1) organic support, as evidenced by LAT poll 2) breaking late due to Gov. uncertainty, DSA push, etc. 3) coupled with well-organized but legal "harvesting" operation. Then I read Callahan's tweet, which if true suggests that maybe bogus ballots were counted. Needs to be investigated.

JUST IN: Nithya Raman has now surpassed Spencer Pratt by 0.4%, making it likely that she will face Mayor Karen Bass in November

@HeatherMyersTV I’m all for independent, transparent investigations. But as we’ve seen in Riverside Co and Fulton Co, Republicans have shown that’s not really in their interest.
But I think that’s a completely different conversation than QTing a guy plugging something into an AI algorithm
English
@_ChrisPocock Allow the investigators in to ensure there is no voter fraud and then we will find out what is misinformation and what is not.
English
@Pagondas1 @joelpollak Where’s the evidence? Because atm, both @CAGOP and @USAttyEssayli say there’s none
English
@_ChrisPocock @joelpollak To make the claim that the mountains of evidence adduced of fraud during the election doesn’t exist is willfully blind.
English
I actually agree with Trump. Rare case where walk-off is appropriate. She kept interrupting, and Cali elections are a sham. It can’t be acceptable to a journo that “state and local officials said.” She should ask Gavin Newsom about how Cali counts votes.

@str8edgeracer @houmanhemmati Nope!
Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk@LACountyRRCC
@ginamilan_ In that example, which has been reviewed before — the ballot would not be verified and the voter would be contacted. The law allows for a witnessed mark for someone unable to sign. This does not appear to indicate an inability to sign. It did not count.

Ok I hate the “stolen election” stuff from the president BUT why keep asking him? It’s not exactly news that he thinks it’s stolen. The question seems performative, merely to elicit the reaction he delivered
Jake Tapper 🦅@jaketapper
That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President. Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.

@enggirlfriend Good explanation from @paulmitche11, from a broadcast on election night:

Paul Mitchell@paulmitche11
This #LAMayor implosion of @spencerpratt’s numbers is incredible. But, it’s also what my gut was on election night. And, like @rpyers I bring receipts…. From the very moment first results came in with @Elex_Michaelson on @CNNTheStoryIs
English
can someone explain why nithya ramen is significantly outperforming karen bass in the late ballots?
i get that late ballots lean dem. but both ramen and bass are dem. and the ratio of ramen to bass votes have wildly changed
pls no lazy answers like “it’s rigged”. if you’re gonna say it’s rigged pls provide evidence on why you believe it’s rigged

The fact that this platform was overwhelmingly pro-Pratt, to the point of actually thinking he might win outright, should force a lot of people on here to reconsider (a) their political sophistication and (b) the extent to which X discourse has decoupled from the real world.
YourFriendKevin@YourFriendKevin
people are outing themselves as unaware of their online bubble Pratt's campaign was a joke. AI billboards, zero substantive policy, threatening to leave if he loses most people hate that shit. He was always in for a clobbering, its just happening sooner than later

@californiapost Sorry guys -- publicly glazing Pratt isn't going to make him any more likely to make the runoff

As expected in CA-06, Democrat Richard Pan has passed Republican Michael Stansfield as Sacramento’s late vote moved sharply Democratic.
Pan is now on track to face independent Kevin Kiley, who caucuses with Republicans, avoiding a Democratic lockout.

One of the more tedious processes in counting California's vote is that every mailed-in and dropped off ballot has to go through a signature verification process.
An LA County elections worker today tells me California confirms your ballot signature by checking it against all of the signatures CA has on file including your registration signature, previous ballots or DMV.
Kinda makes you wonder why not just ask for an ID up front and potentially eliminate all the backlog from the post election signature checks.

@OANN @DanNewsManBall @KatieZacharia Can't even pronounce "Raman" correctly and we're supposed to buy her take on elections?
English
Why does it always seem like massive drops of unverified mail-in ballots only go in one direction to erase Republican leads?

I think most past assumptions are out the window considering the novel circumstances with this primary. In the past, it's varied by election and by region (the late vote in the Inland Empire has typically been red-shifting, in L.A. County, much more of a blue shift). A 5% cushion is probably the absolute minimum for a Republican candidate if the conventional wisdom about this year's blue shift holds.
