It's hilarious to me that folks on here struggle to believe that Spencer Fucan Pratt didn't get enough votes to move forward in friggin Los Angeles.
Against Bass, that's believable. The timeline of results doesn't statistically support what transpired. It's hilarious that people automatically scream MAGA! when someone questions the numbers and timeline. Once again, I'm not claiming fraud. I'm simply pointing out the system that allows this.

No it isn't.

No, the results of the Los Angeles mayoral primary election were not statistically impossible. [1]
Claims of a "statistically impossible" result stemmed from a temporary data transmission lag on media tracking feeds, not actual fraud or anomalous ballot drops. [1]

The Data Feed Error Explained
On election night, online election trackers used by various media outlets briefly showed a vote update where leading Democrats Mayor Karen Bass and Councilmember Nithya Raman received thousands of new votes, while Republican candidate Spencer Pratt received zero. Observers quickly labeled this a "statistical impossibility". [1, 2, 3]
However, this was debunked as a software lag by the Associated Press (AP): [1, 2]
  • The Lag: The electronic update from the county pulled data in two separate intervals. The first update processed votes for Bass and Raman. [1]
  • The Fix: Exactly one minute later, the automated feed refreshed and captured the rest of the batch, adding votes to Pratt's tally while leaving the Democrats' totals unchanged. [1, 2]
  • The Reality: When combined, the full batch included votes for all candidates. [1, 2]


Watch this local news breakdown of how the temporary media data lag fueled the online conspiracy theories:



Official Investigations and Verification
Multiple official bodies and law enforcement agencies reviewed the actual county records and confirmed no such anomaly ever existed in the actual vote count: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • The Department of Justice: First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, a federal prosecutor leading the Los Angeles-based office, personally reviewed the official county records. He released a public statement confirming the social media claims were entirely false and that "each candidate received votes in every update." [1]
  • L.A. County Registrar: The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's Office confirmed that at no point did the official government system ever report an update where a candidate received zero votes. The glitch occurred strictly on the public-facing media displays, not within the official government tabulators. [1, 2]

Why the Vote Tally Shifted Days Later
Critics also questioned why Spencer Pratt’s early lead diminished over the week following Election Day, calling it mathematically improbable. Election experts note that this shift is standard under California election law: [1, 2, 3]
  • Mail-In Ballots: California legally allows mail-in ballots to be counted up to seven days after Election Day, provided they are postmarked by Election Day. [1, 2]
  • Demographic Shifts: Historically, mail-in ballots cast closer to or on Election Day can influence the final results during the counting process. [1, 2]
Ultimately, the official totals resulted in incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and Councilmember Nithya Raman advancing to the general runoff election. [1]

You're as bad on this "issue" as the worst of the MAGA cultists.

There was no anomaly as far as the "official" results as has been repeated to you over and over and over here.

There were lags in batch submissions that would first show the total votes for one candidate, and then the next and then the next.

JFC you maga nuts.

Source for this?

Because I'm guessing your "source" was:

You thought up something that sounded plausible to you. Then posted it.
