10 envelopes more than the number of eligible voters.

What the left calls "democracy" requires as many votes as are necessary for the left to win.

Ten? Try ten thousand!
Pretty sure we had at least that number here in 2020.

As if there is ever 100% voter turnout. We knew they never allow Le Pen to take power. Now SHE is under investigation. Yep welcome to the party

I'm humbled and impressed. They actually did something about it!

Here they would investigate and have inquiries and proceedings, reach no conclusions, blame no one and eventually accept the results anyway.

The French said "chuck it all out, start over, and do it right this time". That makes them more honest and democratic than us, at least this time.

Well, these people stopped calling me that not long ago…

Leftists are the same everywhere. The double standard, lying, and cheating are their three legs of existence.
