Pratt’s lead is now DOWN to roughly 7K votes — as more mail ballots continue to be counted. Utterly OUTRAGEOUS!

🚨 JUST IN: Nithya Raman is STRONGLY GAINING on Spencer Pratt in the late LA mayoral mail-in drops nearly 24 hours after poll close If this keeps going, it will KEEP GETTING *MUCH* CLOSER. In one drop, she closed ~3,000 votes, now trailing by 37,000. 322,000 votes remain. Raman WON 31.2% of the recent drop, Pratt got 20.8% These drops do NOT yet indicate Pratt is on track to lose! But she can't start performing better, or it will get even tighter.

In 3 out of the 4 major counties analyzed in the Michigan 2020 election, Trump's margin was found to be reduced by a minimum of 138,000 votes. Trump's vote total was DECREASED by 69,000 votes. Biden's vote total was INCREASED by 69,000 votes. In total, 69,000 votes from Trump were transferred to Biden in these 3 out of 4 counties. Oakland County, Macomb County, Kent County, and Wayne County. This transfer was done by an algorithm that linearly transferred more votes from Trump to Biden, which happened more in Republican prone areas than Democrat, in an attempt to cover up the fraud transpiring. But, the fraud was still uncovered. The 2020 election was stolen.

Pratt leads by 38K. He's still got a lead, and can fend off the "late ballots." California elections are dangerous.

🚨 CNN reporting almost all ballots that have been coming in and being counted for Nithya Raman are mail in ballots that showed up late “in the final days” Historically people who vote by mail typically do so early, these all showed up late “She is dominating the recent ballot dumps. On election night, she trailed Spencer Pratt by about 40,000 votes. Now she's ahead by about 22,000 votes” CNN even admits Spencer Pratt was the clear winner online “He clearly won the battle for clicks online with his anti-establishment message, but ultimately he lost the battle for the most votes in this overwhelmingly Democratic city. LA is still counting votes almost a week after the election day. The county registrar told me that most of the outstanding votes are mail-in ballots that were dropped in the final days” According to data, In California and most vote-by-mail heavy states, people who vote by mail typically do so very early. Often within days of receiving their ballot Ballots are mailed to voters about 29 days before Election Day in California This means there is likely no good reasons for there to be this many mail in ballots coming in the last few days It’s rigged

🚨 Weeks before the vote count flipped, Gavin Newsom warned about a potential “break the glass” scenario if Republicans gained too much ground in California. Now Spencer Pratt has been passed by Nithya Raman in the race for second place after days of ballot counting… so what exactly did Gavin Newsom mean by that? 🤨

Here it is: The “glitch” The Los Angeles Times is admitting that, yes, they did the 2020: Tens of thousands of mail-in ballots were processed for only Mayor Karen Bass and socialist Nithya Raman, with none appearing for Spencer Pratt, because it was a “glitch” that lasted for “a minute.” “It was the result of a lag in an automated collection of the data, in which one data collection captured votes in a single batch for Bass and Raman, and then, about one minute later, the collection of the rest of that same batch of votes. Folks I spoke to also said there was no fraud. But again, there was no batch of votes without any Pratt votes. There was simply about a one-minute variation between the upload of Bass and Raman votes and Pratt votes on some media websites.”

RIGGED? Nearly ALL Overnight and Late Ballots In LA Mayor Race Going Against Spencer Pratt | Jack, WLT Report The Los Angeles mayoral count did not stop on Election Day, and the late ballot story is now moving straight into election-integrity territory. The reason is simple: the late and overnight mail-in updates being tracked online are cutting into Spencer Pratt’s lead. Conservative accounts on X spent the last 24 hours pointing at the same pattern. Nithya Raman is gaining on Pratt in the late count, and people want an explanation. Here is the cleanest numeric snapshot of what they are reacting to. The viral screenshot circulating in those posts showed Karen Ruth Bass at 172,720 votes, Pratt at 151,149, and Raman at 110,848. Compare that to the current official Los Angeles County readback. As of the county’s posted timestamp, Bass sits at 183,701, Pratt at 157,116, and Raman at 119,809. Run the math between those two snapshots and the pattern is plain. Bass added 10,981 votes, Raman added 8,961, and Pratt added 5,967. So in that window, Raman gained 2,994 votes on Pratt. His lead over her shrank from 40,301 to 37,307. That is the move that lit up the timeline. I need someone to explain to me how EVERY SINGLE VOTE that comes in “late” to California… …nearly 100% of them… Go to ANYONE but Spencer Pratt. How the hell does that happen? Isn’t that LITERALLY impossible?!!!! — Matt Van Swol (Matt Van Swol) June 4, 2026 Matt Van Swol said the late breakdown looked “literally impossible,” asking how nearly every late California vote could go to anyone but Pratt. MAGA Voice put it more bluntly, calling the overnight mail-in gains a steal happening in front of everyone. According to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder: Statewide Direct Primary Election June 02, 2026 Election Statistics Statistic Count Total Registrations 5,891,851 Total Precincts 2,175 Voter Turnout Statistic Count Percent Voted 1,395,987 23.69% Remaining Eligible Voters 4,495,864 76.31% Ballot Distribution Statistic Count Percent Vote by Mail Ballots 1,003,097 71.86% Vote Center Ballots 392,890 28.14% Results as of 06/03/2026 16:07:14. Results are representative of Los Angeles County only. Remember to refresh this page to ensure that you have the latest results. Ballots cast in Vote by Mail precincts are counted in the first bulletin. These tallied Vote by Mail precincts are reflected in the “Precincts Reporting” figure. There are 865 Vote by Mail precincts.

Mail ballots make up 71.86% of everything counted so far, and turnout is still only 23.69% of registered voters. That helps explain why the late-count pattern is drawing so much attention. When mail ballots dominate the count, every new late update can swing the public readback in a big way. Eric Daugherty estimated 322,000 votes still outstanding, with Raman closing roughly 3,000 in one drop while trailing by about 37,000. Pratt is still ahead for the second runoff slot. He has not lost it, and nothing in the official county numbers says he has. What conservatives are flagging is the consistency. When the late-count movement keeps cutting the same way in the snapshots now driving the debate, people start asking the obvious question. The headline is a question for a reason. The verified math shows Raman gaining and Pratt’s cushion thinning while a large number of ballots remain uncounted. Pratt’s lead is real today. Whether it survives the rest of California’s mail count is the part everyone is now watching very closely.
