UMVA has learned that President Trump has launched a scathing attack on the Los Angeles mayoral election, claiming it's "not possible" that Spencer Pratt lost his lead over Democratic City Councilwoman Nithya Raman.
Trump's comments have sparked concerns about the integrity of the electoral process, with the President likening the United States to a "3rd World Nation" and suggesting that Raman's sudden surge in votes is suspicious. He also hinted that Pratt's ally, Steve Hilton, may be next to face scrutiny.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Raman was projected to advance to a runoff election with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass after a sudden and significant shift in vote counts. This dramatic turnaround occurred after Los Angeles spent five days counting late mail-in ballots received after Election Day.
Raman trailed Pratt by roughly 40,000 votes, but then surged ahead after the late mail-in ballots were counted. With an estimated 146,000 ballots remaining to count, Raman now leads Pratt by more than 3,000 votes, raising eyebrows among observers.
Pratt had dominated with mail-in ballots received by election day, but those inserted after election day heavily favored the Democrats. This unusual pattern has sparked concerns about the legitimacy of the vote count.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Pratt wasn't only leading in the vote count but also in popularity. Polling data just days before the election showed that Pratt was more popular than Mayor Karen Bass, who is currently in first place.
The prediction markets also showed similar trends, with odds at 76% for a Bass-Pratt runoff on election night. However, the sudden shift in vote counts has thrown the outcome into uncertainty.
Pratt himself pointed out a strange coincidence: the number of net votes Raman gained over the last five days is almost exactly the same as the number of homeless people in Los Angeles. What are the chances?
