EXCERPT:
Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt filed a formal complaint Tuesday accusing Mayor Karen Bass of illegal electioneering near a ballot drop box during early voting, escalating the fight ahead of the June primary.
The complaint, sent to the Los Angeles City Clerk’s Office, claims Bass campaigned within restricted distance of a voting location while encouraging supporters to cast ballots early. Pratt’s campaign says the alleged violations were “clear, repeated, and publicly documented” in social media footage.
Attorney Peter McNulty, representing Pratt’s campaign, alleged Bass appeared in videos “soliciting votes” and “holding signs asking voters to vote for her” near a polling place and ballot drop box. The letter argues the conduct violated electioneering restrictions that bar campaigning within 100 feet of voting locations.
