With Election Day Tuesday in California, officials in Los Angeles are investigating two separate incidents involving the burning of ballots and vandalism to a voting center in America’s largest county.
Government officials announced that on Sunday morning, “vandalism was discovered at the Vote Center at Cesar E. Chavez Park. Election workers and officials responded immediately, and voting operations were not disrupted.”
“Separately, during routine ballot collection procedures … staff identified a limited number of Vote by Mail ballots that appeared to have sustained fire-related damage inside an Official Ballot Drop Box at the Department of Public Social Services-Civic Center.”
The race for L.A. mayor has attracted national attention, as former reality TV star Spencer Pratt, whose home was burned down in the Palisades fire last year, is hoping to oust Democrat incumbent Karen Bass.
According to the latest poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, co-sponsored by the L.A. Times, Bass holds a statistically insignificant lead ahead of Tuesday’s primary.
Bass has 26% support from likely voters, followed by L.A. City Councilmember Nithya Raman at 25% and Pratt at 22%.
“Mail-in ballots in L.A. are being found BURNED and a voting center VANDALIZED with just 1 day until Spencer Pratt’s potential for an upset win. What a coincidence,” said Eric Daugherty of RightLine News. “Pratt needs to win this! This is why mass mail-ins must be banned totally! Pass the SAVE America Act!”

Former police officer Brandon Tatum noted: “L.A. deserves better than this chaos and corruption. This is outright election sabotage. No matter who you’re voting for, this should outrage every single American. This is a full-on attack on YOUR right to vote!!”
Journalist Benny Johnson stated: “This is what election integrity looks like in a Democrat-run city. This is why we need the SAVE America Act NOW. Vote in person tomorrow!”
Political pundit C-Reason opined: “I believe the Democrat Party probably is responsible for this BECAUSE they know Spencer Pratt is making sense and headway in the mayoral race!”
Los Angeles County Board Chair and First District Supervisor Hilda Solis said: “Voting is a fundamental right, and Los Angeles County remains committed to ensuring every eligible voter can cast a ballot safely and confidently. Any attempt to vandalize election facilities, damage voting materials, or interfere with the voting process is unacceptable. We take these incidents seriously and will continue working with election officials and law enforcement partners to protect voters and uphold the integrity of our elections.”
Dean Logan, the registrar-recorder and county clerk for the county, indicated: “Our responsibility is to protect voters and ensure every eligible voter has the opportunity to cast a ballot.
“Any attempt to interfere with voting or election operations is taken seriously. We will continue working closely with law enforcement and other partners to safeguard the voting process and ensure voters can participate with confidence.”
As WorldNetDaily reported Sunday, actor and comedian Rob Schneider is reviving his legendary character from “The Waterboy” movie to encourage Pratt in the contest for mayor.
Appearing on “The Sunday Briefing” with Peter Doocy on the Fox News Channel, Schneider said of Pratt in his famous Townie voice: “You can do it! But I don’t trust the Democrats!”
Schneider explained: “The Democrats have their ideological captains, and they’re not letting it go. The thing is, they’ve convinced their people that … no matter how bad things are, these people are so evil, somehow it would be worse.
“It’s like, ‘Yes, your entire town burned down, but imagine if it was burned down by someone who was transphobic? Can you imagine? At least … there were rainbow colors to the flames. Yes, there’s a lot of human poop. But imagine if that poop was conservative. Imagine the stench of that. So look at the consistency. It’s completely non-transphobic human feces.’

“You really have a group of people that have convinced them there is a bunker mentality happening in Los Angeles and people just won’t cross over the line. It literally is the last days of the bunker for Karen Bass. They just convinced them it would be way worse if they had a conservative. You gotta try something. Los Angeles, how could it be worse? Try something different!”
