EXHIBIT A
What you submitted
“The election results for Nithya Raman in the latest ballot drop are a statistical anomaly suggesting potential fraud or irregularity.”
TL;DR ·Claims of fraud in the Los Angeles mayoral election have been thoroughly debunked by officials.
WHAT WE FOUND
Claims that Nithya Raman's surge in the Los Angeles mayoral race indicates fraud are statistically unsupported and have been debunked by official sources . Raman overtook Spencer Pratt for the second runoff spot as late-counted mail-in ballots were processed in the days following the election . This shift was predicted by election experts who anticipated a progressive surge from Democrats voting by mail . Investigations into the fraud allegations revealed they were fueled by a misreading of data and a simple mix-up rather than actual irregularities . The Department of Justice and independent fact-checkers confirmed that results naturally change as officials count votes and that such shifts are not evidence of fraud .
