As RedState reported on Sunday, Los Angeles City Councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nityha Raman pulled ahead of former reality-TV star Spencer Pratt in the June 2 primary election, prompting Decision Desk HQ and other outlets to declare Raman the second-place finisher in the L.A. mayoral race. This means Raman has been declared the other person on the November ballot to compete with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass.
What a choice: Progressive Democrat vs. Socialist Democrat, and many Angelenos and others in the country (including our president) are crying foul. After all, if California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is going to make a big deal about COUNTING. EVERY. VOTE, and the results do not have to be certified until July 2, then declaring the third-place opponent the winner after she moves ahead a few percentage points seems a bit like jumping the gun… or embedding a narrative.
As Capitol correspondent Ashley Zavala has documented, there are still 2.4 million ballots left to be counted, and L.A. County has the largest percentage of those ballots.
An estimated 2.4 million ballots are left to count, according to the CA Secretary of State as of noon today.
Biggest number of ballots to go:
LA: 368k
Riverside: 197k
San Diego: 195k
Sacramento: 144k
Orange: 139k
San Francisco: 128k
Alameda: 125khttps://t.co/8ehvLrAC0v— Ashley Zavala (@ZavalaA) June 8, 2026
So, is it any wonder that citizens of Los Angeles who supported change and voted for Pratt feel blindsided and more than a little suspicious of this massive surge for a candidate who was behind six days ago?
Her own district, which she serves on the council, didn’t vote for Raman. If her own constituents wouldn’t even support her, why would anyone else? Now she’s magically “surging” while the rest of the field is flat? This is election fraud, plain and simple.

Despite the entire Democrat and DSA apparatus trying to scream there is no voter fraud and that it’s time to throw the Pratt campaign in the trash heap of failed experiments by MAGA and right-wingers, Spencer Pratt has no plans to concede. He wants every vote counted, just like the benighted Gov. Hair Gel.
Folks, we’re dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference, there’s still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next 3 weeks to count! Let’s git-r-dun!

¡SPENCER, SACA LA BASSURA! @spencerpratt
Data analysts and coders can be anywhere on the planet, and many of these digital warriors are not only collaborative but effective with their methods and information gathering. The beauty of people on the ground in Los Angeles is that addresses, coupled with images, can go into the record for legal verification and be used in the audit. Latinos Los Pratt is also building evidence for a legal defense.
Then once we have the addresses, sending people to go take geotagged photos, showing their questionable nature. If we can show that there are enough questionable addresses that were included and those are more than the vote difference, we can show it was outcome determinative.

Boots on the ground are needed to verify mathematical anomalies ON THE STREET.
Get yourself in the game by physically geo tagging vacant lots, single door address with 15 + voters and all matter of irregularities. @spencerpratt NEEDS LA VOLUNTEERS STEP UP LA! https://t.co/4f4KpBkNYU

So, no matter how Democrats and the Left wish to spin this Los Angeles mayor’s race, it’s not over until it’s over. Thanks to California and its machinations with the vote count, Spencer Pratt is still in the fight.
