Gary Bauer's End of Day Report

06-08-2026
On Wednesday, June 3rd, the day after the California primary, it looked like Los Angeles voters would have a clear choice in November between leftist Mayor Karen Bass (D), who finished first, and Spencer Pratt (R), who campaigned on commonsense conservative views. Pratt led socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman by eight points—30% to 22%, equal to 37,000 votes. But as the ballot tally dragged on over the next four days, Raman “miraculously” wiped out Pratt’s lead and overtook him—27.1% to 26.7%. Reports indicate that Raman’s “surge” of support came from voters on Skid Row. In other words, homeless “voters” with no addresses or phone numbers to verify. How convenient. Let’s be clear: This is fraud!
