Angelenos are stunned and furious after a dramatic late-vote surge by Nithya Raman upended what appeared to be Spencer Pratt’s clear path to the November runoff.

A flood of late-counted ballots has turned the race on its head, shrinking Pratt’s lead day after day and suddenly putting a Bass-Raman runoff on the table after Pratt appeared destined for November just days ago.

The latest ballot update on Saturday delivered another major boost for Raman.

New election results show Pratt’s lead over Raman shrinking to just 7,494 votes, down from more than 20,000 votes one day earlier.

Raman picked up 23,514 votes in the latest ballot count, more than double Pratt’s gain of 10,336 votes.

Her share of the vote climbed from 24.9% to 26.2%, while Pratt’s slipped from 28.2% to 27.3%.

The latest ballot batch dramatically tightened the race. Raman outpaced Pratt by 13,178 votes, shrinking his lead from more than 20,000 votes to just 7,494.

At 10:15 p.m. on election night, with roughly 48% of ballots counted, Bass led with 36.65% of the vote. Pratt appeared firmly headed for a runoff spot with 29.55%, while Raman trailed at just 20.79%, according to the Associated Press.

The stunning shift has left many voters scrambling to understand what happened.

When The Post told Pratt supporter Kenyatta Cole that Raman was rapidly closing in on Pratt’s runoff spot, he was initially at a loss for words.

“No way,” Cole responded. “I’m in shock. There’s just no way”

Cole, whose family spent three generations working in the city’s now-defunct As-Needed Haul Truck Program, said he viewed Pratt as a chance to change a city he believes has lost its way.

“No way,” Cole responded. “I’m in shock. There’s just no way”

“We were looking for change for the city of Los Angeles,” Cole said. “Being born and raised here in Los Angeles, I’ve seen the change. It doesn’t look the same. It doesn’t smell the same.”

Cole told The Post he is frustrated by the latest numbers and the pace of counting under the new voting system.

“Something has to change. These ballots getting mailed out to everybody, that has to stop”

Nico Ruderman, a former state Senate candidate, Venice Neighborhood Council member said many voters are struggling to reconcile the latest results with what they saw on election night.

“It’s like being teased with hope and then having it ripped away,” Ruderman told The Post.

Ruderman said the prolonged count is creating anxiety regardless of who ultimately advances.

“People need to believe in their elections,” he said. “The perception of integrity is just as important as the integrity itself.”
