France election update

For those who are interested in keeping up to date with the latest news, check out "Chirac TV" or The Fix for updates. France24.com has streaming video but no solid news quite yet. One interesting bit of information is that the current vote count stands at 84.5%, well above the last election and definitely well above US counts. Here in Montparnasse, I witnessed steady traffic, but no long lines as I've seen in so many photos.

By law, the results are not allowed to be provided until about 8PM Paris time, reminding me again that this is a country that loves procedures.
