Spencer Pratt Taunts Karen Bass As Election Results Trickle In

The battle now centers on whether Raman can somehow erase Pratt’s substantial lead and capture the second runoff spot.

Election officials say hundreds of thousands of ballots may still remain uncounted. Based on historical voting patterns, many analysts expect those ballots to lean more Democratic than the votes counted thus far.

That possibility has fueled speculation that Raman could eventually catch Pratt.

But even supporters of that theory acknowledge there is no guarantee current trends will continue.

What is clear is that vote counting is expected to continue for days.

Additional ballot reports are scheduled daily through at least June 12, while ballots postmarked by Election Day can still be accepted if they arrive by June 9.
