Second Round of the French Elections - Polidicks

[QUOTE=_Axel;52198146]Hope this shuts up those annoying alt-right retards now.[/QUOTE] Nah. Expect months, if not years of "RIGGED VOTE RECALL ELECTION HANG MACRCON!!!!" Remember: it's only rigged until you win it. If this retarded rhetoric can work for the current POTUS, it can be tried by anyone!

8.8% blank votes.

8.8% of blank and null votes, which is historically high

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;52198158]Isn't that only the projected reults. They should be accurate though.[/QUOTE] Probably a few % variations.

Thank God, My Little Peny is out

[QUOTE=NapyDaWise;52198132]As expected, Macron won with 65%, MLP got 34% Waiting on blank and null votes number, because they are rumored to be high[/QUOTE] Not all the votes have been counted, unless you think all the votes have been counted in a total of 8 minutes? (3 minutes at the time you posted this).

[QUOTE=James xX;52198172]Not all the votes have been counted, unless you think all the votes have been counted in a total of 8 minutes? (3 minutes at the time you posted this).[/QUOTE] You don't need to wait for all votes to be counted to give a reasonably accurate approximation.

[QUOTE=_Axel;52198146]Hope this shuts up those annoying alt-right retards now.[/QUOTE] This is merely a stepping stone on a great trail to work against such an infection and to work against the damage that's already been done.

[QUOTE=_Axel;52198182]You don't need to wait for all votes to be counted to give a reasonably accurate approximation.[/QUOTE] All you need to do is look at Brexit to know that that is blatantly false.

[QUOTE=_Axel;52198182]You don't need to wait for all votes to be counted to give a reasonably accurate approximation.[/QUOTE] Careful. We thought this with Brexit when a few counties announced their results to be significantly in favour of remaining in the EU like sensible human beings. Just for the more backwards parts of the country to sneak up with barely enough votes to be considered a majority.

[QUOTE=James xX;52198185]All you need to do is look at Brexit to know that that is blatantly false.[/QUOTE] This is not a poll. Also Brexit polls were accurate, results were within the margin of error. You don't climb out of a 30% margin just by snapping your fingers.

[QUOTE=_Axel;52198163]Probably a few % variations.[/QUOTE] Yeah it's not the final numbers but it never happened that that theses estimations were proven untrue.

[QUOTE=_Axel;52198198]This is not a poll. Also Brexit polls were accurate, results were within the margin of error.[/QUOTE] I'm talking about the actual results. As they came in, the majority swung from one side to the other. As the results come in here in much the same way, then the two are equitable.

[QUOTE=James xX;52198206]I'm talking about the actual results. As they came in, the majority swung from one side to the other. As the results come in here in much the same way, then the two are equitable.[/QUOTE] Did remain have a 30% lead?

Can we please stop applying brexit and trump to this election? We knew the results 2 weeks ago, that's the good thing about a 2 round system.

[QUOTE=James xX;52198206]I'm talking about the actual results. As they came in, the majority swung from one side to the other. As the results come in here in much the same way, then the two are equitable.[/QUOTE] But the results don't come in the same way? Brexit was constituency by constituency, this is a national result. Plus the Brexit 'majority' swung by a few points, not 30. Given that Le Pen is currently giving a concession speech, I think it's pretty clear it's over.

[QUOTE=_Axel;52198146]Hope this shuts up those annoying alt-right retards now.[/QUOTE] Yeah...sure...

The votes in france come in by constiuency in a way, as each polling station reports its results once all their votes are counted, not one vote at a time...

It's basically an exit poll.

It's far better than an exit poll because it's based on real votes, whereas exit polls aren't

Two out of three ain't bad.

[QUOTE=Stroheim;52198325]Two out of three ain't bad.[/QUOTE] Two out of three of what?

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;52198340]Two out of three of what?[/QUOTE] Voters?

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;52198340]Two out of three of what?[/QUOTE] Trump, Brexit, Macron?

[QUOTE=Tudd;52197985]I find it fascinating you think it is progressive to force people to vote.[/QUOTE] I feel like voting day should be a holiday in every country though.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;52199458]I feel like voting day should be a holiday in every country though.[/QUOTE] It's always a Sunday in France, is it not the same in other countries?

[QUOTE=NapyDaWise;52200848]It's always a Sunday in France, is it not the same in other countries?[/QUOTE] Nope, here for example it's rarely on a day off for any vote. Luckily polls open late enough. Love it if it was on a holiday or weekday myself.

[QUOTE=NapyDaWise;52200848]It's always a Sunday in France, is it not the same in other countries?[/QUOTE] Nope, it's a Tuesday here. Right in the middle of the work week.
