I saw images of the French news in which Le Pen was ahead, then suddenly way behind, and something about a whole boatload of votes for Macron coming in at the last minute. I remember something about her going DOWN in votes. But since she conceded so quickly, it didn't go anywhere.
Relative is a relative term. In the most heavily populated part of France they used voting machines in 25% of the precincts this election.
The election was also moved up be one month to coincide with spring break vacation times in regions that dislike Macron.
And, not unlike the U.S., France tallies the vote from conservative areas first. Once they know the totals from the French equivalent of flyover country, they count the liberal city vote. Now why would they do that?
At least it is required for citizens living outside of France and French territories to vote at a consulate office instead of just sending it in via mail.
I think we may learn France simply has a better illusion of secure elections. What’s that quote attributed to Stalin? It’s not who votes, but who counts the votes.

That was what we anons like to refer to as the "Biden hockey stick" move.
I like the meme where it also says "fraud."

To ready the Biden hockey stick for use when needed.

I'm sure this small contingent could not alter their plans a bit.
Why the hell would you think their elections are more secure than ours?
The incentives for stealing a federal election in any first world country would be exactly the same.
Good point
Stalin said it's all about who counts the votes
