Fake Polls and Political Chaos | Venice Beach News
Description
A fabricated poll claiming Mayor Karen Bass led Councilwoman Nithya Raman by nearly 12 points in the LA mayoral race was exposed as a “social experiment” by the firm Median Strategies — who admitted they surveyed no real voters. The fake poll, which Bass’s campaign initially shared and later deleted, sparked calls for investigations into election manipulation tactics. Raman’s team and even City Controller Kenneth Mejia condemned the misleading poll, highlighting how easily misinformation spreads and how critical it is to verify sources before amplifying them — especially in high-stakes elections.
