Three Days Later, Los Angeles Still Hasn’t Called The Race

Three days after Los Angeles voters cast their ballots, election officials still have not called the race for second place in the city’s mayoral primary, despite Spencer Pratt maintaining a sizable lead over his nearest challenger.

Pratt, the reality television star and independent candidate, finished Election Night with 30.4 percent of the vote.

Pratt is well ahead of progressive City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who trailed at 22.3 percent.

Yet despite an eight-point gap and hundreds of thousands of ballots already counted, officials and media outlets continue describing the race as too close to call.
