Turnout until 12:00 was even lower than in the 1st round, with only 17.8% (1st round: 19.2%)
Probably not more than 44-45% will vote today ... a new record low.
Wow. I was guessing that LREM will under-perform (perhaps not even reaching 400 seats) because both core Right, core Left, and core FN voters will come out and if necessary tactically vote to slow down LREM. I guess not.
Oh well. I was about the make a bold prediction earlier today that LREM will fall significantly short of 400 seat. But the lower turnout scared me into silence. I should have doubled down on my hunch and bet that lower turnout was actually lower LREM turnout.
