LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt has dropped to third place and will not make the runoff.  Leftist city council member Nithya Raman, who previously conceded defeat, has now leaped into second place after winning approximately 40% of all mail-in ballots received in the past few days.  A stunning, remarkable, incredible and some say unbelievable outcome.

There are still several days of ballot counting ahead.  After all, the creation of ballots takes time and resources, and as noted by several people in/around the LA area, locally sourced, artisanal ballots can take much longer to be grown and curated.

With an estimated 83% of the post-election ballots now received, Nithya Raman’s concession is null and void.  Her campaign must wipe away the tears and restart efforts toward the general election. Remarkable.

What a difference a week can make.  However, that said, this California ballot approach has been happening since election year 2018.

Remember, in 2016 California Democrats hired former U.S. AG Eric Holder to assist them with voting constructs.  The legislature then passed ballot harvesting and universal mail ballot laws; which were signed by Democrat governor Jerry Brown.  However, the 2016 presidential election created some panic amid those who organized new ballot creation, mailing and harvesting efforts.

Following the Trump presidential win and fearing a new administration might cross reference the voter rolls to the AB60 laws that linked the ballot creation to illegal alien DMV registration; following the advice of Eric Holder, Governor Brown, Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Secretary of State Alex Padilla quickly deleted the AB60 administrative code that would have permitted cross referencing.

As a result, in 2018 the mail-in ballots became the primary process to create election outcomes. Every race in California now follows the same script.  A Republican leads on election night; a slow count begins; the lead shrinks daily and finally the republican loses weeks later.

There were seven House seats in 2018 alone that followed this exact pattern. All in one direction. Never reversed.

Since election year 2018, there has not been one single race in California where the slow counting of mail-in ballots didn’t take away a Republican victory by the end of the process.  This is by design.  This is exactly why Eric Holder was hired to assist the State of California in setting up their election system.

The Attorney General who set up the ballot construct with Eric Holder is now the leading candidate for California governor.  Becerra is likely to face Tom Steyer in the 2026 general election for governor.  Though there is some possibility the British guy will be allowed on the November ballot in order to give the patina of credibility.

There’s still a couple more weeks of ballot curation ahead for the governor’s race.
