Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman took to X on Tuesday to celebrate her advancement to the general election for mayor, thanking her volunteers and donors while vowing to keep battling a City Hall she says has long favored powerful special interests over working families struggling with high rents and failing services.
The victory lap, however, was met with an avalanche of skepticism in the replies, where users pointed to her third-place finish in her own council district, an earlier concession on election night, and a suspiciously timed surge from late mail-in ballots that somehow vaulted her into the runoff against the odds—prompting fresh demands for a full audit and accusations that the results reflect the same ballot-harvesting concerns recently captured on undercover video in the city.
I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles.

To the thousands of supporters who knocked doors, made calls, sent texts, donated, and opened their homes for events across the city, and to everyone…
Post continues:
... else who made this moment possible: thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Now our fight for a healthier, safer, more affordable, and more joyful Los Angeles continues. For too long, City Hall has prioritized giving political advantage to powerful interests that fund elections. Meanwhile, working people pay the price in higher rents, depleted services, and a city that has stopped working for them.
If you’re as frustrated by the broken status quo as I am, I hope you’ll join our movement to build a city that works for everyone.
Guess how this is going over on X.
C'mon, just guess. It'll be fun.

You have to be super stupid to think there won't be a Fed investigation and you all stepped in an elephant sized pile of shit.
