NEW: \'Rigged Election!\' – Trump Responds to Nithya Raman\'s Impossible Comeback in LA Mayor\'s Race
The Gateway Pundit ^ | June 8, 2026 | Jordan Conradson

President Trump blasted the Los Angeles Mayor election on Monday after Democratic City Councilwoman Nithya Raman overtook highly popular Republican Spencer Pratt in the ongoing total vote count, which remains ongoing six days after the election. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday, Nithya Raman was projected to advance to a runoff election with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass after another fraudulent vote result dump gave her a lead over Spencer Pratt.

Raman came back from a roughly 40,000-vote deficit after Los Angeles spent five days counting the late mail-in ballots received after Election Day. With an estimated 146,000 ballots remaining to count, Raman now leads Pratt by more than 3,000 votes.

Pratt dominated with mail-in ballots received by election day, but those received after election day have heavily favored the Democrats. Where did these votes come from? How can anybody trust these results?

Trump responded to the impossible results coming in after election day, writing, "No way this could have happened. Rigged Election!"

Trump told reporters last week in the Oval Office, "You see what's happening in California. They're rigging the election!"

Trump later went off on NBC's Kristen Welker over the rigged California election during a bombshell sit-down interview. "“Do you think it’s appropriate that they have an election, and five days later, they’re nowhere close to picking a winner?" Trump said of the outrageous vote-counting process. "You’re either crooked, or you’re stupid!"

“Your elections are crooked, and you’re crooked, and meet the press is crooked, and so is ABC and CBS and CNN,” Trump added before storming off the set. 

First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli announced on Friday that his office is conducting “multiple election fraud investigations” with the FBI and a “comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls” with the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.

US attorney opens investigations into California’s elections, sends prosecutor to LA vote center

"The U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles said Friday it had opened “multiple election fraud investigations” related to California’s elections and sent a prosecutor to the county’s vote-counting center.

Late-tallied Democratic-leaning mail ballots were continuing to eat into the vote totals for the president’s preferred candidates for governor and Los Angeles mayor.

The announcement by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, Trump’s appointee as the top federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, and the visit to Los Angeles County’s ballot tabulation center...On Thursday, Trump said his Department of Justice was investigating the California count. By Friday morning, Essayli posted on X about ongoing investigations without providing details, saying only that California’s elections have “serious structural vulnerabilities."

Also on Friday, Republican Steve Hilton, who is Trump’s favored candidate for governor, called for a sweeping overhaul in California’s election laws to limit mail ballots to only those who request them, rather than being sent to all registered voters. He also called for an Election Day deadline to accept them rather than the seven-day grace period the state currently allows as long as they are postmarked by the final day of voting."

I do remember it.

https://www.sott.net/article/444837-Anomalies-in-Vote-Counts-and-Their-Effects-on-Election-2020-Quantitative-Analysis-of-Decisive-Updates-in-MI-WI-and-GA-on-and-after-Election-Night

It is, and was impossible.

The leftist “explanation” was that it was absentee ballots, which break heavily to Democrats. This bias to Democrats is true, but this “update” broke the margin by an impossible amount.

What happened is the votes were either fake, or 3/4 of the Trump votes were simply thrown away before counting.

I also didn’t realize that California’s systemic election corruption went back that far.

From Brave Search

Ballot box lids, not the boxes themselves, were found floating in San Francisco Bay following the November 2001 election, an incident that occurred during Willie Brown's tenure as mayor. While 63 red plastic lids went missing after blowing off a pier during a storm while being cleaned, no actual ballots were confirmed to have entered the water, according to the Department of Elections.

The discovery of these lids at seven different locations, including as far north as Point Reyes, fueled public cynicism and allegations of election mismanagement within Brown's administration. Secretary of State Bill Jones cited "significant and substantial irregularities" in the 2000 and 2001 elections, leading to a state investigation and a court-ordered recanvass of 324,000 votes, though no proof of fraud was ever established regarding the floating lids.

Cause: City officials stated the lids blew away from Pier 29 during a late November storm while election workers were cleaning them.

Context: The incident contributed to a broader pattern of election issues in San Francisco at the time, including missing blank ballots and improper vote tabulation. Legacy: The lids became "collector's items" and symbols of voter distrust, with artists creating posters reading "Cast Your Vote ... Away" based on the findings.

And if you think that was the first instance...

And we all know that the only "glass ceiling" Kamala Harris ever broke was the mirror over Willie Brown's bed.

“i will write him in in November if faced w/Raman and Bass.’

California does not permit write-in voting in the general election.

Trump has a sledgehammer to fix this for good: The Guarantee Clause of the US Constitution. And yes, it applies to states as well.

Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. The question is, Will he use it and to what extent?

Clearly not impossible.

CA’s Deep State has been doing this for decades.

True, and when it’s the government that is crooked, no amount of proof matters - even if you do have it.

Our elections are not subject to outside audits - and that is mind-boggling.

I was an auditor and I can tell you an election would be a piece of cake to audit. There are so few parameters in an election that conducting an audit would be an no-brainer compared to the complexity of auditing a corporate financial reporting system.

Any of the big certified public auditing firms could straighten out our elections over night - zero errors, zero delays and zero fraud.

The fact that this is not happening tells you everything you need to know about what kind of elections our so-called representatives want. If they wanted fair elections we would have them with a snap of the fingers - yet we don’t.

The demons are telling you that there is no justice.

They’re impervious to your laws.

They’re tossin’ a shyte sandwich onto your plate and wishing you bon apetit!

Judge “So & So” says you have no leg to stand on!

What do you do?

"The Supreme Court can change the definition of Election Day and whether mail-in ballots must be received by that date or simply postmarked by then. Whether that will impact the ongoing debacle in CA is uncertain but it will effect the future."

It was received by Election Day for eons, for all of US history, until the Democrats realized they could no longer win without cheating.

Soros made targeted investments in district attorneys, prosecutors, and Secretary of State, and his payoffs have been tremendous.

However, SCOTUS is sitting on a gamechanger, and the timing could not be more perfect, as the decision in Watson v. Republican National Committee is due soon, likely one of the next 3 Mondays.

States that currently count mail ballots received after Election Day (provided they were mailed or postmarked by Election Day) would have to stop doing so for races involving federal offices.

However, Alito could snake Roberts and issue a sweeping decision imposing the rule on ALL elections.

Some of this is on Pratt for assuming the election would be fair and not setting up his own fraud organization.

All those mail in ballots and neither Bass nor Pratt picked up any votes.

Obvious fraud intended to take Pratt off the election ballot.

Trump needs to take action or just shut up.

When observing an election counting station, I asked if you had a thousand votes coming in the building do you have an accounting of a 1000 votes leaving the building? He said he would have to get back to me and eventually said no.

“no proof of vote fraud” And the Dem party line works because it is the truth.

Here in GA proof in 2020 vote fraud reduced the margin from 12,000 to 9,000 for one type of vote fraud. There has been no serious attempt to prove with evidence how much vote fraud was caused by
1) Vote counters who shifted the votes of 3d party candidates to Biden. Both Biden and Trump were unpopular. How many voted Libertarian or other and were counted for Biden? We do not know. No proof. In IL I proved votes cast for LP candidates were counted for the major party candidate.
2) Vote Harvesters voted on behalf of the dead, minors 16-17, non-citizens who were “automatically” registered to vote by Motor Voter, and on behalf of movers, vacant houses, vacant lots. We have anecdotes. Nobody has done serious investigation. The fact is WE DO NOT KNOW.

When I was in IL I developed proof of vote fraud. In GA now neither I nor anyone else has developed the proof. It is tedious, thankless foot work.

They know we know they are cheating but they don’t care because there is nothing we can do to stop it.

They are brazen. They are “in your face” about it.

Yep, our elections are fraudulent, so what are you going to do about it, sucker?

We know and they don’t care that we know. Vladimir Lenin is jealous.

It may be shocking to you but proof is possible. But it takes boring, tedious foot work. A good ground game both prevents much of the fraud and makes it easier to prove fraud after the fact. With rare exceptions, MAGA lacks a ground game.

I don’t need to see the stats to know that this is the case. Everyone else is frozen while Top Raman’s vote count soars and Bass gets her cut to stay in top spot.

It is obvious. We don’t need to actually see the numbers.
