Pratt accuses Bass of ‘illegally gaming the election’
Pratt says Bass’ social media video shows illegal electioneering near ballot boxes, and the complaint seeks investigation and prosecution under California law.
- On Tuesday, Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt filed a formal complaint with Los Angeles City Clerk Patrice Lattimore, accusing incumbent Mayor Karen Bass of illegal electioneering near a ballot drop box during early voting.
- Following a campaign video Bass posted Monday showing supporters chanting "four more years" and submitting ballots, Pratt alleges the activity violated California statutes banning electioneering within 100 feet of ballot drop-off locations.
- Attorney Peter McNulty, representing Pratt, claims the footage shows Bass "soliciting votes" and "holding signs asking voters to vote for her," requesting city officials "immediately investigate and take all appropriate enforcement action."
- Responding to the accusations, a Bass campaign spokesperson told the media the video was filmed at two separate locations, with signs positioned more than 200 feet from the ballot box, dismissing the complaint as "blatantly false."
- With the June 2 primary approaching, Pratt continues to emphasize election integrity and criticize the mayor's "mafia-like regime" while the City Clerk reviews the filing amid heightened media scrutiny.
