Vice President JD Vance appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast this week and the topic of the Los Angeles mayor race came up in their discussion.
It was immediately clear that both men think the primary election was a total sham, mainly due to the mail-in ballots that bumped Spencer Pratt off the ballot.
Rogan also pointed out that there is plenty of evidence that homeless people were basically bribed for their votes.

ROGAN: “And here’s why it’s super sus. Not just super sus that Spencer Pratt, who was in second place, got overtaken by Nithya Raman in the mail-in ballots, but that the mail-in ballots also PASSED a TAX HIKE!”

“So, you would expect the mail-in ballots to be more or less like the original ballots in terms of one, two and three.”
“I’m not saying that Spencer Pratt’s going to win the mail-in ballots, but it just so happened that the third place person, in relative terms, did A LOT better than the first and second place person.”
“Such that the Republican was actually kicked out of the race so that there’s not actually a real election in California.”

One of the silver linings of the LA mayor race is that the corruption of the left is now out in the open for all to see.
It will hang over whoever wins the race.
