The stench of Skid Row wafts through Los Angeles's increasingly suspicious vote count
Bums rule the roost in Los Angeles's elections.

Well, they did it.
A slew of late-harvested Skid Row votes, all coming in nearly a week after the mayoral election, has pushed DSA member Nithya Raman, a former homeless NGO satrap, above Palisades fire victim Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles's top-two primary. She had tearfully conceded the race on the day after the election.
So assuming the other 300,000 ballots (no one knows for sure the final total) are counted the same way, then come November, Los Angeles can choose between Karen Bass, the mayor who let two large city neighborhoods burn and still won't allow rebuilding, or Raman, the champion of the bums.
The Skid Row revelations are worth looking at because there have already been some very skeevy revelations about voter fraud in those quarters, first exposed on film in Los Angeles by investigative journalist James O'Keefe:
