Spencer Pratt Accuses Karen Bass of Illegal Electioneering
Pratt says video shows Bass soliciting votes near ballot drop boxes, while her campaign says the signs were more than 200 feet away.
- On Tuesday, Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt accused Mayor Karen Bass of violating election law, filing a formal complaint with the city clerk and city attorney alleging illegal electioneering within 100 feet of a ballot box.
- Pratt's complaint followed Bass posting a video on X promoting early ballot drop-off, which showed supporters chanting 'four more years' and dropping ballots while Bass was heard saying 'one more vote to win'.
- Under California law, electioneering including vote solicitation is prohibited within 100 feet of ballot drop-off locations; Bass's campaign countered that the portion with signs was more than 200 feet away from the ballot box.
- Bass's campaign dismissed the complaint as 'blatantly false,' while the mayor responded on X that she follows the rules, stating 'Spencer is just mad that his supporters are AI cartoons and we have real Angelenos'.
- The June 2 primary election approaches with Pratt projected for second place, and California's over-50% threshold requirement will likely force a November runoff between the top two finishers.
