Opposite story in LA mayoral: 3rd-place Nithya Raman hitting numbers she needs to catch up with 2nd-place Spencer Pratt
In today’s batch of 60K votes, Raman actually got bigger share than even incumbent Karen Bass
Gap between Raman and Pratt now down to 3 points
It could be a photo finish for 2nd
Here's where the LA Mayoral race stands today (est. 78% in):
34.8% Bass
27.3% Pratt
26.2% Raman
Here's the full trajectory of vote reports, with each row being unique batch
Raman won plurality of both Friday and Saturday's votes, and beat Pratt by >20 pts
She's in position to overtake him tonight
Trump should show up here at the L.A. County ballot processing center because he’d learn within five minutes this is democracy in action, not some conspiracy.

AP projects Nithya Raman advancing to general election for Los Angeles mayor
Tonight’s update from LA gives her a cushion of over 20,000 votes over Spencer Pratt, making her position in the top two safe
So Raman will face incumbent Karen Bass this fall
Large updates today in counties like Sacramento, Contra Costa, Alameda, and LA propelled Becerra into 1st place in CA Gov race
Later-arriving ballots continue to break heavily for Ds
There are still millions of ballots left to count statewide, and no projection yet for 2nd candidate advancing

BREAKING
Nithya Raman just overtook Spencer Pratt in the LA mayor vote count
Today's update puts Raman ahead of Pratt by over 3,000 votes
Her tally has steadily trended up since Election Day, so this was expected
She beat Pratt by 22 points in tonight's batch, 23 pts Saturday, and 21 pts Friday
The margin between Hilton (currently 2nd place in vote count) and Steyer (3rd) keeps narrowing
It dropped from 6 pts to 5 pts today, and will probably tighten more
That said, Steyer hasn't been hitting the numbers he needs in these late batches to catch up with top two candidates
Stay tuned!

Bearing witness has never mattered more and you don’t have to be a journalist to do it. Contrary to what the people counting on your indifference want you to believe, citizenship is a choice to show up and engage with your neighbors, your community, your country. We will not look away. #Velshi

Bearing witness has never mattered more than it does right now. And you don't have to be a journalist to bear witness. Darnella Frazier, Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Eugene Goodman, and Febb Burn. History is filled with people who bore witness and held power to count. We will not look away. Because contrary to what the people counting on your indifference want you to believe, citizenship in a democracy is not something you are handed. It is something you do — a choice to show up and engage with your neighbors, your community, your country. And in this moment, your country needs you. The Republic is not lost. It is deeply endangered. And endangered things can be saved — but not by waiting. You have 148 days. One hundred and forty-eight days between this morning and November 3rd — Election Day — to organize, to register voters, to have the conversations that need having, to show up for democracy. See you on The 11th Hour.
