What was said

"In-person voting the day of the election in Los Angeles County. For mayor: Spencer Pratt, 35%; Karen Bass, 29%; Nithya Raman, 26%. Mail-in ballots received before Election Day: 38% for Bass, 28% for Pratt, 20% for Raman. And then all these ballots that arrive after Election Day: 37% for Raman, 35% for Bass, 19% for Pratt. So Pratt's post-election mail-in ballots declined by one-third."

In LA's mayoral primary, Spencer Pratt won in-person voting by 6 points but his support in late-arriving mail ballots dropped by one-third while Nithya Raman's increased 80 percent, enough to flip second place and secure a runoff spot. The panel discussed California laws including unlimited ballot harvesting, automatic ballot mailing to all registered voters, and no ID requirements creating conditions for potential exploitation. David Sacks declared he denies Raman won legitimately and called for DOJ investigation, while others debated whether the system enables legal fraud versus outright illegality.
