LA mayor's race could go down to the wire

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman, they're in a close race this election day. Let's get to Brooke right now, live from Silver Lake, where Nithya Raman cast her ballot a little bit ago. She was there with her family, right, Brooke? Hey, yes, she sure was, but you know, that race is close. You know what's not close? Y'all, the distance you will have to stand next to someone as you're voting, it is pretty easy to vote this morning. There's nobody here. I mean, we see a couple people trickle in and out, but it is not a busy polling place at all. Matter of fact, they had to do no clearing when the councilwoman came in to vote. She was in there with her entire family watching, but she was the only one voting at the time because it's- Pretty quiet. I think that possibly goes to show How many people focus on early voting, which is interesting because there's not been a lot of action right back and forth over as we got closer to election day. But it is interesting, the parking lots are fairly bare. The people that we see coming in and out, I was hoping to be able to spend some time talking to a lot of voters this morning. And so far, not many, just a simple like, hey, is there a ballot drop box in there? People are taking advantage of the ease in which it is for us to vote here in California. Especially Los Angeles County. So I want to show you though, just a little bit of Councilwoman Nithya Raman right after she cast her ballot for herself. It's overwhelming. It's just I feel so lucky. My parents and in laws have been here on and off helping with childcare throughout the entire campaign. My father and father in law have personally knocked on probably. A thousand doors. My dad is everyone's favorite canvasser. The number of voters I meet across Los Angeles who said they met my dad at a tabling booth or at their door is just so... I feel so lucky to have a family that has supported this vision and they're in it because They know that Los Angeles deserves a city that works for everyone, and they're out here fighting for that. They may not be full-time residents of LA, but they believe in that vision and they're fighting for it. There you go, the councilwoman there talking about what it meant to her to have her parents, her in-laws, her husband, her kids, her sister-in-law, and her niece there with her as she cast her ballot. I gotta tell you, Roxy and Sandra, as I bring it back out here, send it back to the studio, one thing about election day, this is probably my favorite part personally, just as a voter myself, it's the poll workers. It's always somebody who feels really passionate about volunteering in this way, someone who does it year after year after year with just the sweetest It is personality and If you have a regular polling place often you see them every time you go and vote and it's just nice and it's just like one of those things that you always want to remember just to be kind to them today because they're doing this for you and this really means a lot to them. Back to you. Good point, Brooke. Absolutely. I know my poll workers at my polling place, people in the community, so great to see. And oftentimes they're very, very friendly. So we appreciate that as well. All right, they're really happy to be here, right? Every year. Yeah, of course.
