Socialist Nithya Raman widens lead over Karen Bass in LA mayor race — as count moves at glacial speed

Nithya Raman widened her lead over Karen Bass on Wednesday in the Los Angeles mayor’s race — but with only a tiny four percent of the vote counted.

The Democrat Socialists of America-endorsed councilmember pulled a touch further ahead of Bass at 4pm Tuesday, as late-counted inched the ultra progressive challenger closer towards an upset over the incumbent.

The latest Los Angeles County election returns showed Raman with 405,193 votes, or 51.67%, compared with Bass’s 379,069 votes, or 48.33%, a 26,124 vote advantage that further erased the incumbent’s narrow election-night lead.

There is now 67% of the vote counted. At 3am Wednesday, Raman was at 377,458 and Bass was at 360,864, a difference of 18,205 votes, with 63% of the vote counted.

The Kalifornia democRATs will keep counting until they get the result they desire.

“Votes” have nothing to do with the results.

What they are counting are ballots. In a one-party State, you can print all of the ballots you need to achieve a specific outcome.

Maybe it is so slow, because they can’t decide which communist idiot they really prefer.

Opposing factions: Bolsheviks Vs. Mensheviks.

They’re just replacing a commie, with a commie.

Black woman incumbent vs Indian woman outsider. I’d say the former is in a better position to cheat. Her people are more deeply entrenched in the machine.

No worries, in a couple more elections they will be settling elections far more efficiently and decisively based on the methods pioneered and perfected by their mentors, Political Science social theorists Fidel Castro and Ernesto “Che” Guevara
