Claim 3: “Nithya Raman overtakes Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles mayoral race”
DISPUTED
The evidence contains contradictory reports. One source (Flipboard) states Nithya Raman 'leaps past' Spencer Pratt, while others (NY Post and other Flipboard links) state that Spencer Pratt is leading with 29% compared to Raman's 23%, or that Raman's lead is merely 'narrowing' but Pratt still holds it.
