The LA mayoral race is heating up as votes trickle in, with Nithya Raman surging into second place and Spencer Pratt falling to third — a dramatic shift fueled by California’s mail-in ballot rules. With ballots counted up to seven days after Election Day, late-arriving Democratic votes are now tipping the scales for Bass and Raman. Meanwhile, unfounded fraud claims from Republicans ignore the facts. Whoever advances — Raman, a progressive pushing for housing and jobs, or Pratt, a conservative railing against homelessness — will challenge incumbent Karen Bass in a high-stakes runoff that’s testing her leadership under pressure. The race is a marathon, and the final outcome remains anyone’s guess.
