just can’t imagine Macron being allowed to lose

The French vote on paper ballots which are compiled manually.

I have to say, the French don’t mess around with their elections. We should envy their election integrity measures.

They do not allow mail in voting except under extremely limited circumstances and there is a VERY strict chain of custody of those ballots.

They only allow paper ballots - no computers.

When the ballots are counted there are members of at least 2 of the contesting parties on either side of the ballot counter - close enough to read each ballot. If either of them objects to a ballot then it goes into the disputed box and that must be adjudicated by a multiparty committee.

If only our elections were run so cleanly and so honestly.

I should add....with French elections, you have to vote in person on election day. That’s it.

The count is announced that evening.

Has the news media ever referred to a political candidate as “hard left”?

It will be wonderful to get rid of this Macaroon. Married to his high school teacher.

A series of recent polls has put the hard-right Marine Le Pen

Always the "hard-right" or "far-right" label without telling us what they mean by that.

Is Le Pen really hard right or just a typical lefty French women who happens to be a nationalist?

Probably.

“One Word: D O M I N I O N”

A few French words:

” Liberté, égalité, fraternité, ou la mort!” (”Liberty, equality, fraternity, or death!”)

The Spiked Magazine is owned by the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain.

It’s a pretty shitty outlet when it comes to electoral politics. It’s loonies and their wishful thinking.
