Democrats lecture America about democracy every chance they get. They put it on bumper stickers, shout it from cable news panels, and built an entire midterm strategy around it. The Democrat Party has spent years perfecting the art of working the system, legally when they can, and other times, not so much. And it’s happening everywhere.
Many of us are still feeling the sting of Spencer Pratt's elimination from the Los Angeles mayoral runoff. Pratt built real momentum, connected with everyday voters, and threatened the kind of entrenched power the Democrat machine in Los Angeles has protected for decades. But we should have seen it coming.
Going into the final stretch of the primary, Pratt had the wind at his back. After the mayoral debate, he surged, and Nithya Raman fell to third place. Political observers across the spectrum widely assumed Pratt would reach the runoff, and the Democrat establishment panicked.

On Election Day, Pratt held a solid second place, and things were looking good. That was, until the post-election mail-in ballot drops started rolling in. Batch after batch, Raman's vote share experienced improbable jumps, winning first place in every new post-election batch. Every single one.
Now, as we’ve pointed out before, mail-in ballots do lean Democrat. Nobody denies that. But the margins defy any documented precedent. No comparable case exists of a third-place candidate vaulting to first through post-election counts. The mail-in returns disproportionately favored Raman at Pratt's expense, while Karen Bass's lead remained solid throughout. A genuine mail-in phenomenon affects all candidates roughly proportionally. This one concentrated its benefits in one very specific direction.
Even up in Alaska, a red state, Democrats cheat. At least there, they got caught.
Alaska state election officials ruled that a fake candidate using Sen. Dan Sullivan's (R-Alaska) name and branding is ineligible for the 2026 midterm ballot, blocking a blatant Democrat-orchestrated spoiler scheme. The impostor copied Sullivan's former campaign slogan and used a near-identical logo, creating conditions in which voters could accidentally cast ballots for the fake Sullivan instead of the real incumbent senator.
Metadata from a PDF of the impostor's campaign press release traced authorship to a known supporter of Rep. Mary Peltola (D-Alaska).
"Based on a review of the evidence presented and in the Division's possession, the Division has determined that the preponderance of evidence does not support your eligibility for the office of United States Senator," states the letter Alaska's Director of Elections sent to the fake Sullivan.
Election officials haven't finalized the ruling yet, but it looks like the jig is up in that election.
These two situations may have ended differently, but they reveal the same underlying problem. Democrats love to wrap themselves in the language of “defending democracy,” yet when power is on the line, they will do anything to claim or hold onto power, even cheat. Whether it’s manipulating election laws, exploiting procedural loopholes, or finding new ways to tilt the playing field in their favor, in a blue state or a red state. They cheat. Their rhetoric is about protecting democracy, but their actions are about protecting their power at all costs. Wherever there's a Democrat, there's cheating.
