We follow the rules,\u201d Alex Stack, campaign spokesperson for Bass, told The California Post.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign said the video was filmed at two separate locations. According to the campaign, the portion featuring campaign signs was shot in the middle of the park, while the second location showed the ballot drop box. The campaign claims the two locations were roughly 200 feet apart.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations stem from a campaign video posted roughly one week before the June primary election. In the clip, Bass is seen thanking supporters as they submitted ballots into a drop box while she promoted voting and her reelection campaign. <\/p>\n<p>The City Clerk\u2019s Office has not yet publicly responded to the complaint. The Post has also reached out to them for comment. <\/p>\n<p>On June 2, if no candidate secures more than 50% of the voters, the top two vote getters adcance to a run off in November. <\/p>\n<p>A recent\u00a0Emerson College\u00a0poll shows Pratt running a competitive campaign against incumbent\u00a0Karen Bass.<\/p>\n<p>The race has been heavily shaped by viral, fan-generated AI videos portraying Pratt as a superhero saving the city from political villains.<\/p>\n<p>Bass\u00a0is polling at 30%, while\u00a0Spencer Pratt\u00a0is in second place with 22% support.\u00a0Nithya Raman\u00a0trails at 19%, with 16% of voters still undecided.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Download The California Post App, follow us on social, and subscribe to our newsletters <\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong>California Post News<\/strong>: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedIn<br \/><strong>California Post Sports<\/strong> Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X<br \/><strong>California Post  <\/strong>Opinion <br \/><strong>California Post Newsletters<\/strong>: Sign up here!<br \/><strong>California Post App<\/strong>: Download here!<br \/><strong>Home delivery<\/strong>: Sign up here!<br \/><strong>Page Six Hollywood<\/strong>: Sign up here!<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
