That is good. That means people are not indifferent between Le Pen and Macron and that will most likely help Macron.
d-day
OMG
Thanks for the link! I can somewhat understand it, so it's a great way to read things about the election.

Le monde.fr is quite good. Nothing really interesting until tonight though

Brexit got a almost record high turnout (about 40k short only of the record) and it was raining that day which usually means less voters.
It is absolutely not a reason Brexit happened.
Does that really have an impact in a country like UK lol?

Official estimations are at 8pm this time.
Edit: like at every elections, official detailed results will be later in the evening, but official estimations have always been fine.
Guess we might get some leaks one hour before as usual if it's nothing close (unlike the first round that was way too close to leak anything).

Study of scales really in it? Person who wasn't too keen on voting, rain will keep them in. Adds up across the country. And surprisingly we Brits haven't evolved to repel the rain quite yet!
I think if someone is not voting for either Macron or Le Pen, they will most probably just not go to the polls.
Blank ballots will definitely increase, but I don't think it will much.
d-day
this is too French

There's a good article from The Intercept about the "leaks".

Idiots. They don't think leaving the EU will affect then in any way.

These last fake news from the FN fanatics are becoming more and more stupid

What news?
It's not over, there's still one month and a half until the législatives and this time they are as important as the présidentielle.
The official results comes from the administration after 9 or 10pm IIRC
Pollsters build an estimate from local results
So no exit polls and everything that is out before 8pm is bullshit (if you have a good source you can have estimates at 7:45) including foreign medias[URL]
Anyway there won't be any big surprise, we're just waiting for the exact number
Quels beaufs! Au goulag!

Phillipot at "youth and sport"
Collard at justice
Menard at education
Marion maréchal at defense
Louis alliot at interieur
Nobody at ecologie
Serge ayoub at immigration (new ministère)
Hey, what could go wrong?
Messemble que les taux de participations sont vraiment bas pour quelque chose d'aussi important que ça. Non?

There's a lot of frightening things about an FN government but Culture and Education are really terrifying prospects.

This is basically a screen of a fake tweet saying that "Le canard enchaîné" (known for all their leaks about Fillon's affairs), will not release anything about Macron's leaks because it would change the votes.
Also Florian Phillipot from the FN wrote a tweet with a screen of Macron's party messenger which wanted to make some trouble at one of Marine Le Pen's visit. The screen was obviously fake (there was some horrible typo in that screen)
It's not a good article when they blame the "alt-right in the US" instead of Russia in the opening paragraph.

The star icon to favorite a tweet is an obvious giveaway.
These guys can't help themselves with stars.
Also:
Cry me a river. They're all going apeshit about Facebook and Twitter "censorship" because some accounts are being flushed.
Oh yeah, I know. It's just that it's usually more civilised than the présidentielles.

The fact that the buzz around the leaks started with the US "alt right" (white supremacists) is an observable reality, while the links to Russia are just a suspicion right now.

Just came back.
I went at the same time as two weeks ago and there were a lot more people today. Much younger too. And the MLP poster had been torn down. That doesn't mean anything of course but it felt good.
Edit: Thor Deux: Un Monde Obscur for the win.

Really blows my mind that I don't see any coverage about the election on my countries news websites. You'd think it'd be a big thing given how devastating it would be for the EU if Le Pen won.
At least I know that Paris Hiltons baby brother has been arrested again, and that some billionaire have sold his house because of an illness

For those interested, Macron gave probably his best interview of the campaign to Mediapart last Friday. Smart move from him, trying to convince leftists with his technical and historial knowledge and good rhetoric in 1v1.
I wish that kind of good interviews were available on big TV channels and newschannels

but that won't happen
just a rumor but there were reports from people close to Macron that the leaks "dramatically hardened his views towards Putin"

Pretty weird if this is not covered in Denmark that much (going by your profile). Hugely covered here in Finland. Especially on our public channel Yle. Half past nine news this evening (the most popular news program every day) for example will be sent directly from Paris.
Good.
Every (Western) country needs to recognize the effort by Russia to influence others' political landscapes, and the threat that poses.
Every election should have efforts to protect from Russian influence, and there should be mounting consequences for Russia.
Macron press hq is being evacuated right now

Yes, rain really does keep turnout down. I guess Brexit was so strong an issue to people they were willing to put up with it.
A voté!
Saw a lot of Marin Le Pen ballot in the trash and in the voting booth, so let's hope!
Edit: Just saw that "Thor: Un monde Obscur" is the title used in Quebec...

The French title was "Thor: Le Monde des Ténèbres", so even with "Le" instead of "Un" it's not the right title.

Gotcha, thanks.
Also: Mods, putting Thor in every poll stopped being funny in 2015
