Spencer Pratt is turning his Los Angeles mayoral loss into a full-blown war on California’s election system.
The former MTV reality villain, who has repeatedly made clear he does not plan to fade quietly after losing the mayoral race, posted a nine-minute video Wednesday accusing the state’s election process of creating the kind of suspicion that makes voters doubt the result.
“In judicial ethics, the mere appearance of potential fraud is disqualifying,” Pratt began.
“Whether or not there is widespread fraud occurring, there certainly could be. And it doesn’t matter how many times you scream, ‘There is no widespread fraud.’ A lot of people believe there is.”

For Pratt, the problem was not limited to whether fraud could be proven after the fact. He said the way California runs elections has already damaged public trust.
“This isn’t about whether fraud is swinging the election — the appearance of fraud already is swinging the election,” he explained.
Pratt used his own failed mayoral bid as the example. On Election Day, he said, he was in second place in the Los Angeles mayoral race before mail-in ballots counted after the election helped Nithya Raman, who had been in third.

“For some reason, only the third-place Democrat who needed the votes saw a disproportionate spike in votes several days after the election,” he detailed.
The complaint led Pratt into a bank-heist comparison, with the election system cast as a wide-open vault. In his telling, robbing the bank would still be illegal, but the safeguards would be missing.
“How can you secure the money if you can’t lock the vault?” Pratt questioned. “How can you catch the robbers if you’re not allowed to monitor the vault?”
“And how can you even identify if the vault were even robbed in the first place if you can’t even count the money?” he added. “The bank vault is wide open.”
Pratt said the system needs an overhaul, even if the correct fix would be difficult.
His threat to people he believes are committing fraud was even less subtle.
“To all you fraudsters out there, we’ve been watching you,” he noted. “And justice is coming.”
The election attack came after another Pratt video aimed New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who marked the country’s 250th Independence Day with remarks centered on immigration and American identity.
The appearance featured eight new U.S. citizens and included criticism of ICE and the concentration of power Mamdani argued has shaped parts of American society.
“As we mark 250 years, what do we see?” he questioned. “We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world — one where children go to sleep hungry while the world’s first trillionaire hungers for more. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections.
“We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans,” Mamdani added in a jeer at ICE.
“We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt-streaked hands — those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone — and we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few,” he criticized.
Born in Uganda before becoming a U.S. citizen, Mamdani argued that the country’s identity is shaped by the people who call it home.
“The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom,” Mamdani continued. “Where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes.
“America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit,” he mouthed off.
Pratt took Mamdani’s 4th of July message as an attack on the country’s history. “Notice how the communists always attack your history,” Pratt began.

“We all had to sit and watch that vile, commie mayor sit on the wrong side of our founding father’s desk to try to lecture us about our own history,” he rebuked.
Pratt argued that history is the emotional anchor communists must destroy before remaking a country.
“The communists must attack your history,” he continued. “Why? Because history is what anchors you, it’s what makes us attached to something.”
He described communism as “an evil, anti-human religion” that tries to “destroy what makes us human.”
“The communist destroys your history so he can take your home and rebuild it in his image. That’s why it is your patriotic duty to celebrate today unashamed. It’s ok to love America, not only is it ok to love America, it’s necessary to love America. We are the only bulwark against tyranny on this earth,” Pratt continued.
Pratt used the charred remains of his Los Angeles home as a backdrop while arguing that a nation’s history is the foundation that holds its people together.
“Erasing history is how you demoralize people, how you unmoor them and detach them from their society so you can take it from them and rewrite it in your image,” he added
Pratt conceded that America’s past is imperfect, calling its history “messy” and “violent,” but said those hardships are part of national identity.
Of Mamdani, Pratt said “he has no place to rewrite our history and lecture us about what our country stands for.”
Pratt’s commentary kicked off ahead of the holiday weekend after Mamdani warned New York residents to check on elderly loved ones during the heatwave, while also asking city residents to ease strain on the power grid by keeping air conditioning units at 78 degrees.

“If you have an older loved one, friend or neighbor, check in with them today. Make sure they’re staying hydrated, spending time in the air-conditioned spaces whenever possible and know where to find the nearest cooling center,” Mamdani wrote in a post to X.
“New York: it’s hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool,” Mamdani posted on X.
“Show us your thermostat, commie,” Pratt shot back.
