Only about 62% of ballots cast within the city had been counted as of Thursday, leaving a substantial number of votes still outstanding
Several recent California races have followed a similar pattern.
🔵 Karen Bass – 11,748 (36.9%)
🔵 Nithya Raman – 10,664 (33.5%)
🔴 Spencer Pratt – 6,433 (20.2%)Raman’s rough benchmark against Pratt is 11.2%, so this is an 2-point overperformance, though turnout could change that.
Political analysts note that voters who submit ballots later in the process often skew younger, more urban, and more progressive than those whose ballots are counted first. Those demographic groups generally align more closely with Raman’s political base.
At the same time, analysts caution that overcoming Pratt’s statewide lead remains a difficult challenge.
