Pratt\u2019s claim is based on a video Bass posted on X showing her and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >supporters holding campaign signs<\/a> right next to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-both-republicans-and-democrats-are-wrong-about-bill-barr\/\" title=\"Why Both Republicans And Democrats Are Wrong About Bill Barr\">election drop box<\/a>, which Pratt argues amounts to electioneering and vote solicitation within 100 feet of a polling location. His attorney Peter McNulty says the complaint alleges the law prohibits advocating for a candidate or displaying their name so close to voting drop sites. Pratt is running against Bass and LA City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, and his campaign has gained attention nationally, including comments from Donald Trump and Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk, ahead of the June 2 primary election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/los-angeles\/\">Los Angeles<\/a> mayoral candidate <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/spencer-pratt\/\">Spencer Pratt<\/a> claimed that Mayor <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/karen-bass\/\">Karen Bass<\/a> violated <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elections\/\">election<\/a> law and filed a complaint against her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKaren Bass just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fec-finds-twitter-didnt-violate-election-law-by-suppressing-hunter-biden-story-nyt-says-story-was-unsubstantiated\/\" title=\"FEC Finds Twitter Didn\u2019t Violate ... ...
