If Ratchet is scum then so is LM though.
So town Ekko saved Ratchet and the later decided to frame him with LM is the only option you have for this scenario imo.
Otherwise its scum Ekko who by some act of God decided to not vote Ratchet and then got outed by Ratchet and LM.
Because scum Ratchet and Ekko cant be a thing as this bussing makes no sense when Ultra exists as a sacrificial lamb.
yes this is why I am saying we need to isolate the source.
and think what happens if for instance ekko flips town.
and how would the days look ahead.
I am telling you.
Ratchet planned all of the lynches/kills days in advance last game.
He even let one of his scummates claim scum in the thread (hime)
So that hime gets lynched and so on.
