Why the LA Mayor's Race Signals a Looming Five-Alarm Constitutional Fire

Donald Trump is already rehearsing the next coup.

This time, the staging ground is not Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, or Michigan. It is Los Angeles. The alleged victim is not Trump himself, though in his telling, every Republican loss eventually becomes a crime against Trump. It is Spencer Pratt, the former reality television personality whose campaign for Los Angeles mayor briefly looked like it might carry him into a runoff against incumbent Karen Bass before the slow, ordinary, legal counting of California ballots pushed City Councilmember Nithya Raman ahead of him.

And just like that, Trump found another “stolen” election.

There is, needless to say, no evidence of any ballots being miscounted but that has not deterred Trump from saying it or his acolytes from echoing the lie. As typically happens in California elections, the late-counted ballots began moving in the wrong direction for Trump’s preferred candidate. But that is all it takes now for allegations of voter fraud to emerge from the Truman sewer. A Republican leads early, Democrats catch up as mail ballots are counted (because Trump has consistently discouraged Republicans from voting by mail), and the machinery of MAGA delegitimization begins to roar.

So far, the only fraud we've seen is from a bunch of MAGA clowns.
