@JDVance1

I have a buddy in France, and they just had an election there. Polls closed a few hours ago and they already know who the winners are. Must be nice to live in a first world country.

Come on, man! France doesn't have all of those "hanging chads" to interpret! Here in the US, every single one of them needs to be carefully examined: if the chad hangs towards the LEFT, it's a Democrat vote, but if it hangs towards the RIGHT, it's a vote for the Democrat. That kind of exhaustive, detailed work takes a lot of time!

I did not know there was a “first world” country left anywhere on the entire planet.

Everybody seems to be in a crashing hurry to convert the entire world to a “third world” $#!+hole backwater. Or worse.

French elections:

- extremely strict restrictions on mail in voting.

- you show up on voting day.

- you must show official ID

- you fill out a paper ballot

- the vote counter has poll watchers on each side close enough to easily read and be able to challenge each ballot counted.

- challenged ballots are decided by a committee with representatives of all the parties in the election.

- the press cannot release any info until the polls close nationally

= the results are announced that night.

We could learn a lot from France about how to run clean elections.

We could do what they do. Then it would be incredibly difficult to cheat as routinely happens in US elections.

If Le Pen was the winner, we in the states would be hearing about it by now. Lots of dire predictions and faux panic.

La prochaine fois peut-etre, Marie.

“We could do what they do.”

We certainly could, if we quit letting Dems be in charge. And that includes most of the republican congress

They knew who the winner was before the election. The votes will never be counted. Why are you LOL. In the words of that great French patriot Elvis Pretzel, Viva Las Vegas.

Now I am LOL.

Nobody is winning anything today. There has to be a runoff because nobody won a majority of the vote in the first round. That said, there seems to be genuine concern that she may win the runoff. I personally don’t think she will, but she may come very close.

Between Macron and Le Pen? Macron is like Hillary Clinton, absolute scumbag who believes in nothing other than preserving the status quo and enriching himself. Le Pen has her faults, but she stands for a more Nationalist France. If Le Pen does pull it off, it's because of her populist economic platform she adopted which offers provide relief to the working class after the impact of the War in Ukraine.

A Le Pen victory would mean Brussels would be absolutely seething.
