Fake L.A. Mayoral Poll Raises Questions of Legality and Election Integrity
A bogus opinion poll, published by a group named Median Strategies, falsely indicated Mayor Karen Bass held a significant lead over City Councilmember Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral race. The results of this fake poll were even promoted by Mayor Bass's account on X. Following inquiries by The Times, Median Strategies admitted the poll was a fabrication, claiming it was a 'social experiment to examine how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem.' This admission has prompted calls for investigation and prosecution from Mayor Bass's campaign spokesperson, who stated that 'bad faith attempts to influence elections should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.' The group Median Strategies itself is shrouded in mystery, having only recently purchased its domain name and created a website, with its ownership registered privately.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass's Campaign Calls for Prosecution After Fake Poll Revealed as 'Social Experiment'
A self-described polling group named Median Strategies published findings indicating that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass held a nearly 12-point lead in her re-election bid. Mayor Bass subsequently promoted these poll results in a post on X, which has since been deleted. However, Median Strategies later revealed that the poll was fake, describing it as a 'short-term social experiment' designed to examine how unverified polling information spreads through the political information ecosystem. The group's website went dark after this admission. The poll had attributed Bass's lead to voters who had supported reality TV star Spencer Pratt in the June mayoral primary, claiming that 85.23% of them would now back Bass. Pratt, who was endorsed by President Trump, failed to advance to the general election.
