Spencer Pratt Claims Karen Bass Broke Election Law—She Posted the Evidence Herself
Spencer Pratt, a candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, is accusing incumbent Karen Bass of violating election law by electioneering within 100 feet of a ballot box.
In a video posted to Bass’ social media, she is seen giving a speech to an audience of supporters and casting her ballot while being cheered on.
Pratt responded to Bass’ post on X, stating that his lawyers had filed a formal complaint.
“Karen Bass just violated election law here. She is so accustomed to breaking the law with no accountability, she even filmed herself doing it. Well, those days are over. We just filed a formal complaint for illegally gaming the election. We must protect our democracy.”
Pratt’s legal team is claiming that Bass violated Article B, Section 815 of the Elections Code of the City of Los Angeles, which outlines that “no person shall do any electioneering, solicit a vote, or speak to a voter on the subject of marking the voter’s ballot on Election Day within 100 feet of the entrance to the polling place.”

While Pratt has filed a formal complaint, it is not guaranteed that charges against the mayoral incumbent will follow. If Bass were found to have intentionally violated California electioneering laws, she could face consequences such as a warning, fines, misdemeanor charges, and, in rare cases, time in county jail.
It is unclear whether Bass’ actions meet the legal threshold for electioneering, as legal experts usually distinguish between appearances near voting locations and voter solicitation.
Pratt’s complaint comes as he continues to grow more popular in polls, with the most recent data from Cygnal Political showing 22% support for Pratt compared to Bass’ 25%, and Nithya Raman at 18%.
A spokesperson for Bass did not immediately respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment.
