Well, Well, WELL... What Do We Have HERE?! Even NBC Notices Late Ballot Drops Always Seem to Benefit Dems

In the middle of crunching 'early returns' from Los Angeles’s 2026 mayoral race, an NBC News anchor offered viewers a remarkably candid explanation for why the numbers keep shifting in one direction.

With just 66 percent of ballots counted, incumbent Karen Bass held a narrow lead over challenger Spencer Pratt, while progressive Councilmember Nithya Raman trailed in third. As the graphic lingered on screen, the anchor explained the dynamic everyone watching already suspected: those mail-in ballots still trickling in 'tend almost always [to be] heavily Democratic.'

You don't SAY?

Watch:

"For whatever reason, the late mail-in votes in key races tend to pull Dems ahead"

He noted the pattern has repeated itself for about a decade in California congressional and local races. On election night, one candidate—often a Republican or outsider—appears competitive or even ahead. Then, over days or weeks, the mail ballots arrive, and the gap closes in the Democrats’ favor.

The anchor shrugged it off as voters simply mailing ballots later and leaning heavily blue. No deeper analysis. No curiosity about why the phenomenon is so predictably one-sided in a state with universal mail voting, ballot harvesting, and extended counting windows.

So he noticed it, but, you know, it just so happens that only Democratic voters vote late. Totally.

Yes.
It has happened so often in the past, people now expect it; don't even question it.

"Ho-hum"

Wonder if that's why elected officials don't want us to pass the SAVE Act? Even some Republicans ...
