@joelpollak *Poll says nearly the exact result of the election*

Joel: “Who could’ve possibly predicted this?!”

[LA Material @LAMaterial__]

JUST IN: Nithya Raman has now surpassed Spencer Pratt by 0.4%, making it likely that she will face Mayor Karen Bass in November

[Chris Pocock @_ChrisPocock]

@HeatherMyersTV I’m all for independent, transparent investigations. But as we’ve seen in Riverside Co and Fulton Co, Republicans have shown that’s not really in their interest.

But I think that’s a completely different conversation than QTing a guy plugging something into an AI algorithm

[Chris Pocock @_ChrisPocock]

@Pagondas1 @joelpollak Where’s the evidence? Because atm, both @CAGOP and @USAttyEssayli say there’s none

[Chris Pocock @_ChrisPocock]

@str8edgeracer @houmanhemmati Nope!

[Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk @LACountyRRCC]

@ginamilan_ In that example, which has been reviewed before — the ballot would not be verified and the voter would be contacted. The law allows for a witnessed mark for someone unable to sign. This does not appear to indicate an inability to sign. It did not count.

@CGasparino @AdamKinzinger What a wild thing to say

@enggirlfriend Good explanation from @paulmitche11, from a broadcast on election night:

[Paul Mitchell @paulmitche11]

This #LAMayor implosion of @spencerpratt’s numbers is incredible. But, it’s also what my gut was on election night.

And, like @rpyers I bring receipts…. From the very moment first results came in with @Elex_Michaelson on @CNNTheStoryIs

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

The fact that this platform was overwhelmingly pro-Pratt, to the point of actually thinking he might win outright, should force a lot of people on here to reconsider (a) their political sophistication and (b) the extent to which X discourse has decoupled from the real world.

[Chris Pocock @_ChrisPocock]

@californiapost Sorry guys -- publicly glazing Pratt isn't going to make him any more likely to make the runoff

[AP Race Calls @AP_RaceCalls]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Xavier Becerra advances to the general election for governor in California. #APRaceCall at 7:50 p.m. EDT. https://t.co/TS3eIpQI5W

[Zachary Donnini @ZacharyDonnini]

As expected in CA-06, Democrat Richard Pan has passed Republican Michael Stansfield as Sacramento’s late vote moved sharply Democratic.

Pan is now on track to face independent Kevin Kiley, who caucuses with Republicans, avoiding a Democratic lockout.

@MattFinnFNC You can't do that with mail ballots, Matt.

[Chris Pocock @_ChrisPocock]

@OANN @DanNewsManBall @KatieZacharia Can't even pronounce "Raman" correctly and we're supposed to buy her take on elections?

[Americana at Brand Memes @americanamemes]

The election spam texts, robocalls, and junk mail have stopped!

[Rob Pyers @rpyers]

I think most past assumptions are out the window considering the novel circumstances with this primary. In the past, it's varied by election and by region (the late vote in the Inland Empire has typically been red-shifting, in L.A. County, much more of a blue shift). A 5% cushion is probably the absolute minimum for a Republican candidate if the conventional wisdom about this year's blue shift holds.

[CA120 @CA_120]

Interesting trend in ballot returns...

Statewide, half of the Democratic votes that have come into @Political_Data tracker came in between Wednesday 5/27 to Monday 6/1. 20% of all Dem ballots came in just yesterday.

Dems are still behind Reps share of ballots cast at this point compared with 2026, but they are now exceeding their raw numbers from that cycle.

This shows that surge of Dem votes expected after a month of them clutching their ballots waiting for a frontrunner to emerge, or some sign from the heavens above (Obama, Pelosi, Newsom) that never came.

@Liz_Wheeler Respectfully -- if you believe Pratt will go on to win in November, I want whatever you're smoking
