Speaker Johnson: California’s Vote Counting “Stinks to High Heaven” | LA Mayoral Race Delayed House Speaker Mike Johnson is sounding the alarm over California’s painfully slow vote counting in the Los Angeles mayoral primary. More than a week after Election Day, mail-in ballots are still being processed — and the race for second place between Spencer Pratt and Nithya Raman remains extremely close. Early results had Pratt ahead, but late mail ballots have narrowed the gap, leaving the November runoff against Mayor Karen Bass still undecided. Johnson didn’t hold back, saying the extended counting process “stinks to high heaven” and that everybody knows the problems caused when votes are still being tallied weeks later. While stopping short of claiming the results were rigged, he raised serious concerns about transparency and public confidence in our elections. If you voted in this race — especially supporters of Spencer Pratt — check the status of your ballot right now at california.ballottrax.net/vo…. The push for real election reform is growing louder.

Speaker Johnson Raises Concerns Over California’s Delayed Vote Counting in LA Mayoral Race By Jonathan Gregory CALIFORNIA - June 8, 2026 House Speaker Mike Johnson is highlighting the slow pace of vote counting in California’s Los Angeles mayoral primary. More than a week after Election Day, mail-in ballots continue to be processed, and the race for second place between Spencer Pratt and Nithya Raman remains very close. Early results showed Pratt ahead, but additional mail ballots have narrowed the gap significantly, leaving the outcome for the November runoff against Mayor Karen Bass still undecided. Speaker Johnson stated that the extended counting process “stinks to high heaven” and that “everybody knows” the issues created when votes are still being tallied weeks after an election. While he stopped short of claiming the results were rigged, Johnson expressed serious concerns about transparency and public confidence in the process. His remarks reflect broader calls from conservatives for faster and more transparent election procedures. Voters, particularly those who supported Spencer Pratt, are encouraged to check the status of their ballots and take appropriate action if their vote has not been recorded.
