Jamie Kennedy blasts LA mayoral election swing: ‘Literal crime scene’

It’s enough for him to Scream.

Actor and comedian Jamie Kennedy expressed astonishment at the dramatic shift in odds away from Spencer Pratt in the Los Angeles mayoral election.

The “Scream” star, who supports Pratt, shared a post on Friday showing that socialist city Councilmember Nithya Raman had a 95% chance of advancing to November’s general election despite Pratt still maintaining a lead with votes still being counted.

“This is a literal crime scene,” he wrote. “There is no way this is an honest election.”

Oddsmakers had recently given Pratt more than a 75% chance to advance out of the primary.

Raman and Pratt are competing for the final spot to make the runoff against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, who is already projected to advance.

On Saturday, Los Angeles County was still slowly and painstakingly processing thousands of uncounted ballots. With 71% of the votes counted, Pratt held 28.2% of the share while Raman trailed with 24.9%.

But Pratt’s lead’s has been steadily slipping as more mail-in ballots — which tend to favor Democrats — are still being counted. Raman scored a major boost Friday, cutting Pratt’s lead by 20,672 votes from a day earlier.

Despite Pratt being ahead, some experts claimed Raman would make the runoff given those late mail-in ballots lean Democratic and young, which favors Raman.

“Barring some mathematical surprise, today’s results suggest that Nithya Raman is likely headed to the runoff,” longtime political strategist Michael Trujillo told The California Post on Friday.

But others like Kennedy did not buy that argument, and some on social media fueled claims of election fraud.

Conservative pollster John McLaughlin called the late Raman surge unusual in comments to The California Post.

He blamed California’s slow vote-counting system for fueling distrust when all results should be out by Election Day.

“What makes it seem strange is that for Raman to be ahead or to overtake Pratt, it means that the remaining Democrat votes had to vote for Raman instead of Bass. The dynamic there is plausible, but it also raises doubts and questions about a system that’s flawed,” he said.
