President Donald Trump’s supporters are spreading a flurry of conspiracy theories about mail ballots after MAGA-aligned reality star Spencer Pratt was eliminated from the Los Angeles mayoral primary race \u2014 but he never had a chance, election data analyst Harry Enten told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

“Harry, can you tell us what the numbers actually are and what we are looking at in places like L.A.?” asked Collins.<\/p>\n

Enten started off by acknowledging “we<\/span> would rather the system be<\/span> that the votes were counted<\/span> faster in California.” But the fact remains, he continued, “<\/span>this is …<\/span> the<\/span> dumbest conspiracy theory I’ve<\/span> ever heard.”<\/span><\/p>\n

For starters, he said, this wasn’t even the outcome the Democratic establishment in L.A. wanted. Incumbent mayor Karen Bass “<\/span>wanted to face<\/span> Spencer Pratt,<\/span> for the<\/span> simple reason that she would<\/span> easily beat him. You could look<\/span> at the runoff polls, right?<\/span> [City Councilwoman] Nithya Raman actually is ahead<\/span> of Karen Bass. Spencer Pratt was<\/span> nearly 20 points behind Karen<\/span> Bass.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, he noted, net favorability polls show Bass “is greatly unpopular,” but that Pratt “<\/span>might<\/span> be the one person in the [entirety of]<\/span> Los Angeles who is running for<\/span> mayor, who is less popular than<\/span> she was. He would have<\/span> been a God-given gift to her if<\/span> she, in fact, faced him in the<\/span> runoff.” This is further underscored, he said, by the fact that Trump, whom Pratt heavily attached himself to, is down around 55 points in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>“What a surprise … that a Republican is struggling in a city in which just 15 percent of the registered voters in that city are Republican,” concluded Enten. “This isn’t a conspiracy. It’s simple math.”<\/span><\/p>\n
