FAFO Episode 22: LA Mayor Race Heist


Listen Later

In this explosive FAFO episode, we break down the chaos in the June 2, 2026 Los Angeles Mayoral Primary. Incumbent Karen Bass is locked for the November runoff, but the battle for second place between Spencer Pratt and Nithya Raman has completely flipped due to massive post-Election Day ballot drops.

Election Night vs. Current Totals: - Early counts: Pratt strong in 2nd (~28-30%), leading Raman by 30k-40k+ votes. - Latest (83.2% reported as of June 7-8): Bass 250,871 (34.7%) | Raman 196,198 (27.1%) | Pratt 193,085 (26.7%) — Raman now leads Pratt by ~3,113 votes.

We dive into the viral "zero votes for Pratt" batches that fueled massive controversy, the suspicious late surges where Raman consistently outperformed Pratt (sometimes more than double in single drops), official "data lag" excuses, witness reactions, Pratt's memes, Trump comments, and why this has everyone questioning election integrity in California's mail-in system.
