Isn’t it interesting that all the close races are taking forever to be counted and even though the Republican is ahead, as they have more and more time, the Democrat comes from behind. Shades of 2020.

Horrible news, with Bass it'll be more of the same pointless stuff that leads L..A into the sewer. Caruso is our final hope

[bernieudo]

When Bass wins they can invite the 100, 000 homeless people who voted for her to the Coliseum for a caviar & champagne victory party.

Yay!🎉 MORE homelessness and violent crime in LA🤮

Four days and still counting; the city of LA is definitely showing it's incompetence, if nothing else.

[ketimporta]

No way! It's being rigged, as I'm writing this. If Bass wins, we are doomed.

How long has Karen Bass been living in LA? She used to live in GA. Her name was on my birth certificate.

[jamesjames]

LA will become even more of a dump if Bass is Mayor....

[mathurex]

Late victories are always 100% legit in the eyes of the voters. We should extend this habit as much as possible.

[jefflengyel]

In what world is this OK? Embarrassing with as dash of suspicion.

[samsevan]

Even though i don't live in city anymore but i support Rick Caruso

[janicelaporte]

Yes democrats have done such a wonderful job —— not

[silvianecochea]

Estos resultados nadie cree, pediremos investigación, para que se respete el VOTO.

[-old-Forthischet]

Glad I don't live in the "city" anymore. It's the pits.

[carlosfrostygreen]

I remember this country had a problem two years ago in the real estate market maybe this needs to change eventually.

[patthome]

As long as it's a Democrat that's what matters

[santiagoflorestrinidad]

No more votes from. Home hell.or mail

[shel]

Ah, so more mysterious boxes showed up at 3am again when no one was around?

Let's make America FLORIDA! ( ...along w/the election system, as well!) No reason each state can't have their results the 'day of' like we do. There's nothing wrong w/ppl having to put some effort into voting - esp when the alternative ensures the losing side questions/loses confidence in the results bc of the look of impropriety. (Tho, now I'm thinking that's not a 'bug', but a 'feature')
