Spencer Pratt Questions Los Angeles Count After Falling 29,550 Votes Short of Runoff

Summary
Three days after missing the Los Angeles mayoral runoff, Spencer Pratt resurfaced on X with a terse post: “Are they done counting yet?”
L.A. County’s latest June 10 tally shows Karen Bass at 291,397 votes, Nithya Raman at 246,333 and Pratt at 216,783, leaving him about 29,550 votes behind Raman for the second runoff spot.
More ballots are due Thursday, but the report says the gap is statistically unlikely to close; Pratt is still expected to seek either a recount or court action.
Raman, launching her de facto general-election campaign against Bass, tried to court Pratt supporters by arguing he tapped into voter anger over city services and rebuilding after the Palisades fire.
Pratt built his campaign around wildfire recovery and quality-of-life complaints, but Trump’s endorsement and scrutiny over his post-fire living arrangements undercut his bid in heavily Democratic Los Angeles.
