dailynews.comDoes Nithya Raman still have a chance? California’s uncounted votes could help Democrats
Republicans appear to have over-performed in early vote counts, but for a variety of reasons, experts believe the ballots will lean more Democratic as the latest vote-by-mail ballots are counted. This could benefit progressives in close races, but by how much remains an open question.
“Don’t count [Councilmember] Nithya Raman out yet,” said Zev Yaroslavsky, director of the Los Angeles Initiative at UCLA Luskin, who closely tracks local elections.
Raman is currently in third place behind reality TV personality Spencer Pratt and Mayor Karen Bass, who has already secured a spot in the runoff. Raman would, however, have to make up significant ground to reach Pratt and receive a sizable portion of remaining votes.
“Pratt has an edge, ... but it’s not free from doubt at this point,” Yaroslavsky said.
