Highly popular reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt appears to be on track to advance past the open primary for Los Angeles Mayor to face Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in the November runoff election. 

That is, if they don't rig the election with fraudulent late mail-in ballots.

Pratt is currently leading Democrat LA City Councilwoman Nithya Raman and trailing Karen Bass by a slim margin.

The two top vote-getters will advance to a runoff if no candidate receives over 50% of the vote.

NBC's Steve Kornacki is reporting live on the results tonight.

Roughly 40% of the vote totals were released at approximately 11:20 pm ET, showing Spencer Pratt in second place, trailing incumbent Mayor Karen Bass by just 10 points in the three-way race. He further led Nithya Raman by nearly eight points, putting Pratt in a position to force a runoff between himself and Bass.
