Trump was never, at any point, anywhere near 24 points behind Shillery

True ... but is it possible that the race is tighter than the polls indicate? ... that perhaps Macron released these e-mails as a way to invalidate the results should La Pen somehow win?

Frankly, no, I don’t think the polls are wrong.

If you want hope, plenty of people don’t like either candidate but would chose Macron, if enough of them stay home instead....that’s her path to victory. But I wouldn’t bet my top dollar on that happening. Pray for rain.

If she does win there will be no “invalidating” the results based on leaked emails, same as here it has zero legal baring.

In fact, even fraudulent double votes count. Thousands of overseas French voters (liberal leaning) were mistakenly mailed 2 ballots for the first round. They risked prosecution if they cast both (I haven’t heard any more about it), but the votes and results stand.
