Reblogged from Becoming Madame:
As we discussed in a recent post, the French election process is a bit different from the majority of its democratic partners. A two-round system, Round One of the elections took place yesterday, Sunday April 22. The results were not surprising to me, although many here in France seem to be shocked by the popularity of the far-right candidate.
The polls closed last night at 6pm in the countryside and 8pm in the city centers.
Maybe there is hope? I just know I can't endure another four years of Obama.
