@ianmSC You’re right it’s not a coincidence. There were big posts like this going around LA in the final days. People strategically voted Raman to knock him out
@Joey08842532@rpyers@USAttyEssayli If you’re following this race from nowhere near LA, doesn’t it make sense that it was the most popular/visible race to vote on?
@dittoheadAZ@Joey08842532@rpyers@USAttyEssayli Not sure if you’re being sarcastic. I worked at a vote center, many voters came in, finished voting in under 2 minutes and left. Governor and mayor were the main events
@stopbeingabot1@enggirlfriend@miklgoldsmith Just to give you an example of the messaging that was going around in the final days, this is an LA politics influencer of sorts. LA liberals are generally engaged and highly educated, and Pratt is a particular offensive candidate. This strategy was very real
@stopbeingabot1@enggirlfriend@miklgoldsmith That’s fine and it’s not designed to serve anyone but the voters. I’m very proud of how we do elections here, the model system for ballot access
@realsidjain@enggirlfriend You weren’t implying that her TikTok following indicated anything about her popularity with young people?
If not, happy to consider what you actually meant
@stopbeingabot1@enggirlfriend@miklgoldsmith No one claims it was a grand strategy. If you resist framing it as some elaborate conspiracy you can more easily grasp that LA just mobilized to stop Pratt. Pretty simple
@stopbeingabot1@enggirlfriend@miklgoldsmith The goal wasn’t to be counted late, it was that people waited till the last minute to decide and then drop off / mail their ballot
@steveamerica26@ThePoliticalHQ What I mean is the votes counted from VBMs and provisionals after Election Day. Very common for the D to take / build leads in that time period
