Summary
163,549 votes left Spencer Pratt still ahead of Nithya Raman in Los Angeles, but the latest county tally cut his advantage to about 6% as Raman gained ground faster.
More than 10,000 new votes went to Raman in the latest batch, versus fewer than 6,000 for Pratt, leaving him still behind incumbent Karen Bass for a November runoff spot.
1,533,435 votes kept Republican Steve Hilton narrowly in front in California’s governor’s race, ahead of Xavier Becerra at 1,470,100 and Tom Steyer at 1,139,517.
June 2 voting is over, but California’s heavy reliance on mail ballots means counting can stretch for weeks; the state certified its 2024 results 38 days later despite a 2025 law requiring non-problematic ballots within 13 days.
