Americans are erupting over the results of a local mayoral race in the nation\u2019s second-largest city.<\/p>\n

In scathing posts across X, Republican and MAGA figures have denounced the results of the Los Angeles mayoral race after their favored candidate Spencer Pratt failed to make the November runoff.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost the L.A. runoffs after the big lead he had. 3rd World Nation. Rigged Elections! Now they\u2019ll be working on great guy Steve Hilton. Won\u2019t have results for, possibly, TWO WEEKS, according to officials. President DJT,\u201d Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform hours before the race was called in favor of Pratt\u2019s rival Nithya Raman.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo way this could have happened. Rigged Election!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On election night, Pratt performed significantly better than Raman, securing an eight-point lead as the first round of mostly in-person votes was counted.<\/p>\n

In the days that followed, Raman gained ground as more mail-in ballots \u2014 which tend to favor Democrats and other progressive candidates \u2014 were counted. On Sunday, Raman secured enough votes to advance to the November runoff against incumbent Karen Bass, who claimed the top spot days earlier.<\/p>\n

Pratt\u2019s knockout from the Los Angeles mayoral race has sent the internet and Republicans into a frenzy, adding fuel to claims of election fraud.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 5 days of statistically impossible ballot drops, Nithya Raman has pulled ahead of Spencer Pratt. The DOJ needs to keep investigating. This can\u2019t be allowed to keep happening in America,\u201d Benny Johnson wrote on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia\u2019s third-world \u2018election systems\u2019 need to be banned,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

There is no documented evidence of voter fraud or election rigging in California or Los Angeles County, which administers the city\u2019s elections. <\/p>\n

The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder\u2019s Office has repeatedly said there is \u201cno evidence\u201d supporting claims of cheating, defending the integrity of the election system and rejecting allegations that fraud is occurring during the counting process. <\/p>\n

The county has also encouraged observers to watch ballot processing from designated observation areas. Other heavy hitters, including Elon Musk, weighed in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe level of fraud here is mind-blowing,\u201d Musk wrote while sharing an image of vote tabulation from the 2026 primary election.<\/p>\n

Right-wing political commentator Gunther Eagleman also chimed in, writing: \u201cCalifornia is straight-up STEALING the election from Spencer Pratt by counting votes WEEKS after Election Day!\u201d<\/p>\n

Republicans across the country have, in various ways, suggested that the voting process has been tampered with.<\/p>\n

Speaker Mike Johnson also said California\u2019s primary election \u201cstinks to high heaven,\u201d arguing that vote counting should not take so long.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are counting votes weeks after the election,\u201d Johnson said at the Capitol on Monday. \u201cI\u2019m not saying it\u2019s rigged. I\u2019m saying it stinks to high heaven, and everybody knows that.\u201d<\/p>\n

California allows voting by mail, in person at vote centers, through secure drop boxes, and by provisional ballot. Election officials can process many mailed ballots before Election Day \u2014 verifying signatures and preparing envelopes for tabulation \u2014 but they cannot count the votes until polls close.<\/p>\n

California\u2019s lengthy vote-counting process stands in contrast to many other states that routinely report results within hours of polls closing.<\/p>\n

States such as Florida and Texas typically produce near-complete unofficial results on election night because they process large numbers of mail ballots before Election Day and impose stricter deadlines for receiving ballots.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s governor has dismissed claims of fraud.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cTrump says voter fraud should land people in prison. Agreed. And let\u2019s start with the politicians spreading election lies with the goal of illegally interfering with counting ballots. In California, I just signed a law making that punishable with up to 3 years behind bars,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Pratt has not made any public comments since losing his bid for Los Angeles mayor.<\/p>\n
