la mayor race polls reveal glitch in matrix: voters' names match candidates in 93% of precincts
Data analyst Carlos Mendez thought he’d found a simple coding error in the latest la mayor race polls—until he cross-referenced voter registrations with candidate rosters. In 93% of precincts, the most common voter surname exactly matched the surname of a mayoral candidate. In three precincts, the top voter first name was identical to the second-place candidate’s first name. “It’s a one-in-a-trillion coincidence,” Mendez said, “or a glitch in the simulation. Either way, the numbers don’t lie—reality is looping.” Officials have declined to comment, but the data remains live on the city’s election portal.
