President Trump blasted California’s slow-moving primary count as “crooked” after Republican Spencer Pratt fell out of second place in the Los Angeles mayoral race days after Election Day, while Republican Steve Hilton continues waiting for enough ballots to be counted in the governor’s race. --- “Has anybody been watching the CROOKED Election going on in California,” Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social. “Two great Republican Candidates are being cheated, and so is America, which if the Dumocrats are able to fulfill their mission, great trouble and consternation will follow.” -- Trump later reshared a post from Rep. Abe Hamadeh, Republican of Arizona, who said California is “incapable of running free and fair elections consistent with our Constitution.” -- Pratt had led Raman by 8.1 percentage points on election night, but that lead evaporated as later ballot updates moved steadily in Raman’s direction. By Sunday, Raman had pulled ahead by 0.4 percentage points, with a net swing of more than 43,000 votes since Tuesday.
