Candidate Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral race came in third place on election night, June 2, so far behind second place finisher Spencer Platt that she essentially conceded the election in a tearful farewell. And then, miracle of miracle, over the next few days as more and more mail-in ballots kept rolling in, Raman suddenly surged in the votes, often exceeding first place Karen Bass in some counts and doubling the percentage of her election day returns to the extent that by Sunday she surpassed Pratt in the vote, thus apparently landing a spot in the November runoff elections.
Oh, and for those of you who expressed skepticism about this electoral miracle in the midst of a questionable vote count of the mass ballot mailings in which voter identification requirements were at best laughable, Politico has written off your concerns as "baseless."
The Politico California damage control team of Melanie Mason, Dustin Gardiner, and Blake Jones have already described any reasonable skepticism as, wait for it, "conspiracy theories" on Monday in "The online meltdown over LA’s vote count."

When were the new ballots postmarked?
It wasn’t an Election it was a Joke
Whaddya expect from Pollutico?
If we made conspiracy to commit voter fraud a capital crime and prosecuted it accordingly, we’d have a bleep of a lot less voter fraud.
The democrats told the voters right to their faces to GET STUFFED
The political establishment in the state cheated so that the political establishment would win.
The political establishment in the state will now investigate the political establishment.
There is no hope of anything being done.
At the federal level, a more serious investigation is at least conceivable. But it’s never happened before. So I don’t expect it now.
This is the model going forward. Voting is a waste of your time. “Voting harder” is stupid advice. Vote as hard as you want — in the weeks after the polls close, the establishment will be sure to print enough ballots so that they win. They get the last word.
“You are clearly not weeing what you are seeing”.
Never give up the con
I’m surprised that Politico hasn’t yet used the worn term “debunked” to brush off serious allegations of vote fraud. But give them time.

Attention Republican billionaires. Getting the truth out about Democrat vote cheating will absolutely pay off for Republicans. Swing voters want honest elections. Democrats need to acquire a well deserved reputation for being liars and cheaters.
Postmarks? Have you heard the sad news? We don't need no stinkin' postmarks!
Traditionally the Federal government does not interfere or monitor state elections.California has established a system that is very conducive to fraud. Under state law Pratt and his supporters have little or no access to view or analyze the ballots. IMHO these state laws and “ballot counting” violate the civil rights of legitimate citizen voters. A well funded Federal court case is necessary if democracy is to be saved.
Pssst! POSTAL FRAUD makes this a federal case. You can move mail-in ballots without MAILING them in the federal postal system.
Exactly. Nothing will be done about LA but it can be used like a drum. The whole country knows the rats stole this. Scream it
22,000-0 Baseless?
“””And then, miracle of miracle, over the next few days as more and more mail-in ballots kept rolling in,”””
That statement is not quite correct. I have followed the daily vote counting and here are some of the results.
Wednesday evening June 3
460626 ballots counted
322000 estimated remaining
782626 estimated total votes
Monday evening June 8
713325 ballots counted
66000 estimated remaining
779325 estimated total votes
The total votes cast remained pretty much at the 800,000 level for the duration of the counting.
Where’s RandFan to defend Politico reporting???
It was booked by the DNC inside their magic rooms.
Or “old news.”
Either “debunked” or “without proof” as the msm constantly calls any questions about the stolen 2020 election.
Yet we are expected to believe that Raman who lost in her OWN DISTRICT beat Spencer Pratt and Bass in other districts where she was hardly known?
Another case, like 2020, where there were massive ballot dumps AFTER the election that swung the election for the Democrat.
Yet we have four “Republicans” who voted against the SAVE Act: Susan Collins (Maine), Mitch McConnell (Kentucky), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and Thom Tillis (North Carolina).
