The Gist
The author claims the LA mayor's race was stolen through fake mail-in ballots. They argue it's impossible for someone in third place to suddenly jump to first place just from mail-in votes, and that California's loose voting rules make it easy to cheat.
Conclusion
The Los Angeles mayoral election was rigged through systematic vote fraud, specifically through manipulation of mail-in ballots to prevent Spencer Pratt from reaching the runoff
Premises
- Nithya Raman jumped from third place with 20% of Election Day votes to first place with 40% after mail-in ballots were counted, which has never happened in US election history
- California maintains deliberately dirty voter rolls and refuses federal audits, creating opportunities for ballot harvesting
- The state allows questionable forms of voter ID (gym memberships, credit cards) and accepts ballots with mere marks instead of signatures
- Raman's surge of 43,000 votes corresponds to the estimated 43,000 homeless in downtown LA, whose ballots are sent to NGO facilities that 'facilitate' their votes
- California's extended vote counting process (taking weeks instead of counting on Election Night) has repeatedly produced come-from-behind Democratic victories
- The Justice Department is investigating the LA vote counting process and California is stonewalling federal election audits
Assumptions
- Historical voting patterns are reliable predictors of legitimate election outcomes
- Third-place candidates cannot legitimately gain such massive vote shares in mail-in ballots without fraud
- NGOs facilitating homeless voting are inherently suspicious and likely fraudulent
- Extended vote counting periods are inherently illegitimate and designed to enable fraud
- California's election policies are intentionally designed to enable cheating rather than increase voter access
