When to we get the exit polls?
When the polls close. They don’t have a DRUDGE... LOL
After Bibi said he is no longer for the 2 state solution, I am sure that a number of Arab Israelis woke up and said they better vote for someone?. Pundits earlier today suggested that the vote might be as high as 80%. OUr country should do so well.
Turnout MAX will be 71%
It’s being reported in Israel among the people that the percentage of Arab voters has tripled. .... and we already were aware American money is bringing the Arabs to the ballot box.....many being bused in....not to mention Obama’s groups called “Victory 15” in Israel for some time with the sole purpose of campaigning against Netanyahu.
I read that the turnout for Arab voters in the last election was about 55% so I really doubt that their vote has tripled this time round.
A powerful ‘G4’ solar storm is striking Earth today, producing auroras and sparking some concerns about power disruptions, reports USA TODAY. The newspaper said the storm hit Earth at around 10 am ET.
Fifteen minutes. Pins and needles time.
Everyone sharing the same rumors. Say Netanyahu and Herzog are neck in neck at 23/24 seats. More likely for @netanyahu to form government.
3:29 PM - 17 Mar 2015
19.44 Sheera Frankel, BuzzFeed’s Middle East Correspondent, reports on rumours that Mr Netanyahu and Mr Herzog are neck and neck.
Bibi's Opponent Nerzog said....” I Trust the Obama Administration to Get a Good Deal” regarding Iran......that was music in the ears of the Arabs and Muslims. So they are certainly doing all is possible to get that guy in. They want Obama’s man in most any area where there's elections.....and we know our Gov. has been infiltrated mightily with Muslim. All ME leaders...including Israel.....knows the Muslim influence in Washington is great.
Praying for Gods will to be done......hoping it’s a Bibi win!
Likud party lawmaker Gila Gamliel praises high voter turnout among Arab citizens, saying, ‘ It gives them a sense of belonging and a will to change’ - @haaretzcom
The fact it’s neck and neck leaves room for a lot that can be done to throw the election either direction....illegally. Not to mention the count itself.
....”Praying for Gods will to be done......hoping it’s a Bibi win!”....
Me too...prayed earlier today that God’s man would be in place and will done since he does raise up and dispose leaders.....whatever will be will work in his ultimate plans.
