“Pratt didn’t even make the runoff, as you might’ve assumed he would not just from reading some of his fawning coverage.” Is this get-up-and-get-a-beer line clever praise for sophisticated readers who react against “fawning coverage” or an editing error? https://t.co/CWnfXVwVfN

I don’t understand why this cool spinning graph resolves anything. Yes, Raman’s base came in late. But the question is whether all those were real, kosher votes. The graph doesn’t address that. https://t.co/PhObQ3jNMa

It’s actually not crazy that the older South Central blacks who support Bass might be more leery of mail-in ballots (for good reason) than the Silver Lake hipsters who support Raman. I would base the argument for corruption/fraud more on the fact that CA law invites https://t.co/s7cMGjBE8v

The problem with the one benign theory for the last-minute Raman surge the All-In-Bros offered–that Dems waited to strategically vote to lock out Pratt or Hilton–is that Raman has pulled off this feat before, when strategic delay was not an issue. https://t.co/x10uwzSGYA https://t.co/NwrhuMc0K2

I would actually change the “no” to “probably no.” We don’t know. The loopholes are big enough—eg sending in random ballots for people who won’t complain and never see them which then aren’t adequately checked–that it’s possible. https://t.co/PeUc0quh4y

My favorite “witch hunt” for fraud was Bob Dornan’s 1996 House campaign. Dem Loretta Sanchez finished ahead by 984 votes. Dornan cried foul, but a bipartisan Congressional inquiry found only 748 illegal votes–624 from non-citizens. Nothing to see there! https://t.co/4vkfFe8sjV

One reason harvesters may wait until the last minute to dump their mail-in ballots is the hope (maybe incorrect) that a massive number of last-minute ballots have better chance of overwhelming the checks that’d be enforced if less exhausted workers were processing fewer ballots. https://t.co/e2roDZulGG
