Spencer Pratt ran the best campaign a non-Democrat could run in Los Angeles, but voters are content with the Democratic mediocrities they chose.

Pratt's lead is down to just one point Saturday evening after a ballot release that saw Raman garner more votes than not just Pratt but fellow Democrat Bass.

Pratt dropped to third with 25.8% of the vote as he was beaten to the runoff by incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and progressive Nithya Raman when AP called the race.

The mayoral election is Nov. 3.

With roughly 93% of the vote counted, Bass and Raman led a crowded 14-candidate field with about 34.3% and 28.6%, respectively.

Nithya Raman pulling ahead of Spencer Pratt almost a week after election day shows California elections lack integrity.

Could things ever get bad enough in a big, liberal-run city for one to elect a mayor like Rudy Giuliani again?
