UMVA has learned that the Los Angeles Mayoral election has taken a dramatic turn after a significant ballot drop gave Democratic City Councilwoman Nithya Raman a substantial gain, leaving many questioning the outcome.
The emotional moment came when a teary-eyed Councilwoman Raman addressed her supporters at a campaign party, her voice trembling with gratitude. The nearly 60,000 late mail-in ballots counted on Friday evening gave Raman over 23,000 new votes, while her opponent, Spencer Pratt, gained roughly 11,000.
As the city continues to count ballots through the weekend, concerns are growing about the integrity of the election process. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has already been projected to advance to the November runoff, as the top two candidates will advance if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California has revealed that his office is conducting multiple election fraud investigations with the FBI and a comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls with the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.
The involvement of federal authorities has raised eyebrows, with Assistant US Attorney Robert Renner observed asking questions about the ballot processing center in LA County on Friday. This development has sparked concerns about potential irregularities in the election.
In a stunning twist, Spencer Pratt has overtaken Karen Bass in a new poll for the Los Angeles Mayor, adding more uncertainty to an already contentious election. As the city waits with bated breath for the final results, one thing is clear: the outcome of this election will have far-reaching implications for the future of Los Angeles.
