A video posted online appears to show dozens of ballots with Spencer Pratt’s name scattered across streets in Los Angeles, raising fresh questions about how votes were handled in the recent election.
The footage shows what look like official ballots lying on the ground, many of them clearly marked for Spencer Pratt. The person who shared it is asking how this could possibly be part of a legitimate election process.

This comes after earlier reports of highly suspicious ballot counting in Los Angeles. In one late-night drop, Spencer Pratt received zero votes out of roughly 24,000 ballots — despite polling in the 30% range in some areas. His total remained frozen while overall vote counts jumped significantly.
Now this new video is circulating, showing what appear to be Pratt ballots simply discarded or blown across public streets. If authentic, it points to serious problems with chain of custody and ballot security in one of America’s largest cities.
California’s mail-in voting system has long been criticized for lacking proper safeguards. Ballots are accepted days after Election Day, counting drags on for weeks, and oversight has repeatedly been called into question by election integrity advocates. When ballots end up scattered on the street instead of being properly secured and counted, it fuels legitimate concerns that votes are being lost, mishandled, or worse.
Spencer Pratt and his supporters are calling for a full investigation, including involvement from the Department of Justice. They argue that these kinds of irregularities cannot be dismissed as simple mistakes in a race this close and contentious.
Los Angeles has a well-documented history of election administration problems. Extended counting periods, last-minute ballot drops, and weak chain-of-custody rules have made it one of the most distrusted systems in the country. Videos like this only deepen the distrust.
Whether these specific ballots were intentionally discarded, lost during transport, or mishandled in some other way, the images are hard to ignore. Voters deserve answers — not more excuses about how “normal” it is for ballots to end up on the pavement.
The people of Los Angeles and California have a right to know their votes were properly protected. If this video is accurate, it’s yet another example of why serious reforms are long overdue.
