@nithyavraman@spencerpratt The DSA imported activists to either harvest ballots or bus low propensity voters to polls to vote provisionally on a sizeable scale.
How many were cast by people fraudulently I couldn't say.
It's plausible enough were cast to edge out Pratt. It's all up to @billessayli now.
I just did the math - If the percentage of the remaining 200K votes yet to be tallied continues to split the same way for the top 3 candidates in the L.A. Mayors race, @nithyavraman will beat out @spencerpratt by roughly 12 - 15,000 votes.
Courtesy of the Democratic Socialists of America.
@nithyavraman@spencerpratt Pratt's lead: ~20,672 votes
Estimated ballots remaining: ~200,000
Of the newly counted votes:
Karen Bass received about 31%
Nithya Raman received about 38%
Spencer Pratt received about 22%
The Truth about the DSA? See below and be prepared. 👇
The Democratic Socialists of America aren't democratic and yield no resemblance to American values.
They are exclusively, violently - Socialist.
They are an evil, autocratic, propoganda laden group of thugs spewing nothing but lies and hatred. They are hell bent, "by any means necessary" on a relentless pursuit for power, and more is never enough.
In our nation of laws they persistently break them, use their militant wing ANTIFA to harass, bully, threaten and kill. Chaos is their friend as much as disinformation, misinformation and violence their allies.
This is what they are, right here and now, as what was once a decently patriotic and civil left has devolved to silence, toleration, and even encouragement. It is not a two sided problem it's a one sided problem.
This is where its coming from, this is whats dividing us because division is its goal.
Trump is a symptom of it and while Americans can debate his policies and candor - he is simply a tool for the leftist, postmodernist mob to weakly justify their violence and the right's attempt to halt it.
Imagine what they would do if empowered and capable - to the weak and political/ideological minority if they get that type of upper hand. They aren't opposed to genocide, they embrace it as long as it's their version as evidenced in every violent communist uprising throughout the course of history from The Soviet Union and Cambodia, to every Central and South American version of it.
They aren't friendly as much as they attempt to use Mamdani's fake reptilian smile and grandpa Bernie to mask themselves with their best version of it.
Evil is as evil does.
LOS ANGELES - First Assistant U.S. Attorney @billessayli announced on Friday that his office has opened multiple election fraud investigations in coordination with the FBI.
The RetCon of RetCons.
No, Joe Biden wasn't drugged, he has severe dementia.
Dementia that his Party, Democrat members of the Senate and House of Representatives, his Cabinet, staff and family intentionally and willfully attempted to cover up with the aid of a complicit media and Hollywood affiliates.
He was exploited and used by many in the previously mentioned groups - his Presidency was puppeted and essentially hijacked by this cabal in one of the darker chapters in the history of the office.
To add insult to injury, key organizers of this plot autopen pardoned themselves on his very last day serving in office down to the final hours of his Presidency.
Because there are now two confirmation bias bubbles of reality that exist, polarizing the U.S. through corporate media, and misleading political rhetoric - in some cases outright lies. Half the country doesn't want to believe what happened right in front of their face. The other half believes it, maybe not to the extent it went on but has moved past it.
We have since heard bits and pieces of the tales of what was going on and names of folks involved in some of the shenanigans, yet the full scope of this most blissfully ignorant Presidency may never see the light of day.
Was Joe Biden on drugs? No. If anything he wasn't on enough drugs to mask his dementia and simulate alertness. Jill Biden might have been using drugs when penning her memoir though.
🚨The Minnesota fraud empire is falling:
Yesterday 15 fraudsters were charged and $90 million was busted. The MSM tried to cover for the fraudsters. @GovTimWalz called it "white supremacy" to expose it and @IlhanMN is completely SILENT.
Independent journalism defeated an entire fraud network upheld by billions of dollars with support from corrupt politicians who allowed this fraud and the MSM who failed to report it.
Major win for America and hardworking law-abiding taxpaying citizens. This is just the beginning.
Arrest them all.
How do legitimate, scientifically conducted polls actually work?
These days, when legitimate polls go your way, they get reposted - when they don't people love to hate them and call them "innacurate". So how "accurate" are they really?
Most large scale polls require large uninhibited sample sizes usually between 1000-2000 respondents. These days people are far less likely to respond and complete polls, so that's a challenge that makes them more expensive to fund and timely complete.
Poll sample sizes for races like CA Governor require drawing from a pool of "likely voters". Who those likely voters are has also proven far more difficult to pinpoint these days as opposed to past contests. As a result the margins of error that used to be 2/3% has shifted to something more like 5/6%.
To that end, it's true they are LESS accurate than they used to be. But inaccurate is a generalization and a subjective term.
In general, what this means is when a poll has candidates within 12% points of one another they are technically in a statistical tie, yet the likelihood of the outcome swinging the full range with say the lead candidate receiving 6% less total votes and a contending candidate on the bottom end, 6% more votes than polling indicated is HIGHLY unlikely.
In Vegas terms, I wouldn't bet on those odds.
Polls remain exceptionally valid indicators of an election's likely outcome. Not perfect, rarely spot on, but typically within range and reflective of the likely outcome.
Any Presidential race with Donald Trump participating as a candidate excluded.
Thats about as wildly OFF polls have ever been, and an outlier. Its also safe to say given factors like the electoral college and national corporate influence Presidential polls now more than ever are a different beast. The next election, the first in over a decade with out Donald Trump running will place polling outlets at that level under a microscope as a proving ground for future reliability.
NEW: Super PAC supporting Ken Paxton drops new ad against James Talarico that consists entirely of using Talarico’s own prior words & far left positions against him, including God is nonbinary, six genders, trans children etc. Ends with “Low-T Talarico”.
Candidates often compete for what we call in politics "earned media".
Something a candidate does - either organized or organic, that yields some version of positive or neutral coverage by established media outlets that aids ones campaign or possibly damages your opponent's.
Of course it doesn't get any better than when you're @LACity Mayor @KarenBassLA and the local paper, the @latimes is taxpayer funded - and on your payroll.

If you've worked in politics at a legitimately professional level - specifically in CA in the wake of the inception of top two primaries, you know what this mailer is all about.
The rest of the population comes up with all kinds of interpretations given their absence of political education, much of which often only comes with direct experience and on the job training.
Activists are often lead to believe they're "in control" of their decisions and speak their mind. The stark reality in most cases however, is that the battle field, players and issues have already been gamed to the extent that activist involvement is the structured cumulative result of direct or indirect manipulation by consultants, strategists and high level stakeholders.
What's really going on here?
The D establishment of course wants Xavier Becerra and Hilton, in the run-off. In a deeply blue state they expect an easy D win given this scenario. It also gives them June - November to plan, carve up and prepare to initiate their 2026-27 agenda. Free and clear of any real media investigations and investigative reporting on the massive fraud and waste thats been happening for decades and whats to come.
Government is their wealth redistribution system in California and now most of the redistribution is to themselves, their friends and institutions they yield a financial stake in. Clearly it isn't helping ANYONE that truly needs help.
There is a small silver lining for the moment as Bill Essayli is actually looking into what's been allowed without restraint and is truly become a problem for them and the status quo.
They don't want Becerra facing off against Tom Steyer, because Steyer might win and he's not a made guy in the establishment mafia. He's a radical progressive billionaire do-gooder that may or may not really know - but they can't tell him what to do. That race would be expensive, and potentially a negative exposure of internally damaging communication.
They also, at the same time don't want to attack him because they still LOVE his wallet so they prefer to attack Hilton, to indirectly improve his front runner status in hopes that undecided Republican voters rally to support him as the leading R candidate.
All the rest in accordance with polling are too far out of reach to make the top two so what essentially exists is a three way race and with polling's margin of error these days being something like 5/6% off the mark, theres no telling where things truly stand until election day.
As much as a Steyer v Becerra race would be fun to watch, it would also have devastating consequences for down ballot races - likely and deeply suppressing R turnout in the general election giving Democrats wins in potentially unexpected races.
We shall see what happens.
