Oh the Le Pen voters are a strong fanatics Core, they don't believe in "corrupted media", they'll go vote even if the predictions were 99% for Macron.
Ouais, bah, bougez vous le cul, merde!

It was at 69.42% during the first round.
What does it mean lower turnout?>

A voté! Always love the mood in French polling stations for some reason (probably bc it makes me feel like I live in France for five minutes)

I still don't understand why some people thought that Marine had a chance lol.
Like i said here a few weeks ago i think, we're not the US, and our vote system is good enough to prevent people like Trump being President.
It's cool to feel concerned, but there's no need to be afraid, really.

Yup. Just a little fyi: in 2002, the rate was 67.62 (the last time people had to make a strong anti FN vote)

Give it another 3-4 hours or so.
Polling average was 76% at final count for the 2nd round, so it's on course to match the polls attendance wise.

People with a very shallow view of the world. Basically because of Brexit and Trump the whole world somehow lost its mind.

I don't like these estimates because Belgian papers don't source them (besides "they're reliable") while French pollsters swear they don't do exit polling. I mean, saying "take it with a pinch of salt, it might drastically change but here it is so far" while announcing numbers that are in line with the last polls sounds pretty meaningless.
(Real early results come from 7:7:30pm when votes are being counted and final results can be extrapolated)

Hahaha!
This day is turning out alright so far. Three hours to go.
Oh here, (around Nantes) it's been sunny all day.
Hey, somebody from the best city in France. Nantes for life!

This.
Belgian papers can be right, but only starting from 7/7:30pm, and even then when it's not too close (like for Sarko/Hollande, or the first round this year).
Worthless until then.
You can't compared, it's not the same situation.
They already did one last week

It's not a very shallow view of the world, quite the contrary. Brexit and Trump are just 2 symptoms of the same cause: The strong push towards right wing politics and nationalism in the Western world. It's been coming for several years now.
I don't think we ever should consider anything a done deal in regards to politics. Was Marine Le Pen likely to win the French presidential race? No. But it was still possible. It's never wrong to be concerned and let that concern muster the motivation to engage in politics.

The results in Meurthe-et-Moselle, outside of Nancy, were really fucking depressing after the first round.
I have family in a village in the north of the department and I've been carefully ghosting them for months tbh.

Where can we see live results?
Hopeless people are hopeless. My village is the same, but 85 of 400 voted Melenchon in the 1st round, counting me and my wife.
People are really really kind here, a magnitude better than in the big city, that's the paradox.
I think everything bad is coming from old people. Le Pen or Fillon for the oldest ones. They don't understand the world around them and want their to return. That's probably a little cliché but it's very palpable here.

I mean, compared to what's expected, sure, but let's not get carried away here.

Also, people are forgetting, France doesn't have the electoral college. All Macron has to do is get more votes, he wins.
If it was like that in America, we wouldn't have Trump. So, thank your lucky stars for that.

Same in Moselle. Metz put Macron largely in front of everyone else, and Le Pen ended in #4, but Moselle as whole put her in first, even cities that are part of the Metz agglomération. It's sad.
Right, obviously. 80/20 like 2002 would be the only uplifting results, to be sure, but still, her losing 5-10 points compared to the polls would be encouraging.
Yes of course. There are polling stations in most big cities in Europe and around the world.

This is to be expeted though, right?
Anecdotal evidence, 670/1063 a bit after 5PM today, so slightly down from the 1st round as expected.
Pretty much. Turnout for today was expected at around 76-78%.
You haven't been following this election or my posts if that's what my post reminds you of.
Trust me, I'm more worried than most that she might win after what happened in the US. Most French natives on GAF are like that I assume, because we, more than the average voter, are aware of what happened in the US. I've been worried since the premier tour. I still believe a Le Pen victory is a possibility. But assuming she will lose, which would already be swell, it would be wonderful if she fared even worse than polls predict.
[EDIT] Reaslistically, the worst realistic scenario I'm expecting is 55/45 for Macron.

Sure anything is possible but incredibly shallow analysis saying it'll happen because it happen s before adds nothing to the conversation.
