<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spencer Pratt responded with skepticism Sunday night as his socialist opponent overtook him in the Los Angeles mayoral race after days of vote counting that has led to Republicans calling for major election reforms in California.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leftist councilwoman Nithya Raman officially jumped out in front of Pratt on Sunday after mail-in ballot dumps throughout the week consistently shifted the race in her favor. Pratt led Raman by around nine percentage points on election night. After the big swing in Raman&#8217;s favor, Pratt raised questions about where all the ballots came from to support her. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;&#8216;A net swing of more than 43,000 votes since Tuesday..&#8217; 43,000, huh? Where have I seen that number before&#8230;? Probably nothing,” Pratt posted on X, highlighting an article which reported that Los Angeles had over 43,000 homeless people out on the average night. </span></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After the Sunday ballot count update, Decision Desk HQ projected that Raman would advance to the general election against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, leaving Pratt locked out of the race. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump, who supported Pratt’s campaign, claimed that Pratt and Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton were being cheated in their elections. Hilton, who started in first place, has seen his Democrat opponents rapidly gain ground as mail-in ballot counting continues. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Has anybody been watching the CROOKED Election going on in California. Two great Republican Candidates are being cheated, and so is America, which if the Dumocrats are able to fulfill their mission, great trouble and consternation will follow,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday night. “Watch this ‘Election’ closely!!!”</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Federal officials are seeking to audit California’s election system, which has been criticized for its agonizingly long vote-counting process. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Sunday that California was blocking an audit of its voter rolls and noted that the state </span><a href="https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/hava-id-standards"><span style="font-weight: 400;">allows</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> first-time voters to use &#8220;surprising&#8221; forms of ID to register to vote, including a gym membership card, employer ID card, credit or debit card, prescription drug label, and insurance card. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look,” he said. “We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters’ behalf (a practice known as ballot harvesting) with few restrictions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed, and submitted each ballot,” he added. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Trump administration sued California after the state failed to provide information on its voter rolls as it attempts to ensure that only American citizens are registered to vote. </span></p>
