Jamie Kennedy blasts LA mayoral election swing:…
It’s enough for him to Scream.
Actor and comic Jamie Kennedy expressed astonishment at the dramatic shift in odds away from Spencer Pratt in the Los Angeles mayoral election.
The “Scream” star, who helps Pratt, shared a post on Friday exhibiting that socialist metropolis Councilmember Nithya Raman had a 95% likelihood of advancing to November’s common election despite Pratt still sustaining a lead with votes still being counted.

“This is a literal crime scene,” he wrote. “There is no way this is an honest election.”
Oddsmakers had not too long ago given Pratt more than a 75% likelihood to advance out of the first.
Raman and Pratt are competing for the ultimate spot to make the runoff against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, who is already projected to advance.
On Saturday, Los Angeles County was still slowly and painstakingly processing hundreds of uncounted ballots. With 71% of the votes counted, Pratt held 28.2% of the share while Raman trailed with 24.9%.
But Pratt’s lead’s has been steadily slipping as more mail-in ballots — which have a tendency to favor Democrats — are still being counted. Raman scored a major increase Friday, cutting Pratt’s lead by 20,672 votes from a day earlier.
Despite Pratt being forward, some specialists claimed Raman would make the runoff given those late mail-in ballots lean Democratic and younger, which favors Raman.

“Barring some mathematical surprise, today’s results suggest that Nithya Raman is likely headed to the runoff,” longtime political strategist Michael Trujillo told The California Post on Friday.
But others like Kennedy didn’t buy that argument, and some on social media fueled claims of election fraud.

Conservative pollster John McLaughlin called the late Raman surge uncommon in feedback to The California Post.
He blamed California’s slow vote-counting system for fueling mistrust when all outcomes needs to be out by Election Day.
“What makes it seem strange is that for Raman to be ahead or to overtake Pratt, it means that the remaining Democrat votes had to vote for Raman instead of Bass. The dynamic there is plausible, but it also raises doubts and questions about a system that’s flawed,” he said.
