2015 Election Season in Argentina (1st Round, Oct 25 / Runoff Nov 22)

Well, with 70% reporting now (the government's website just came online, for some weird reason), there's been a huge surprise:

Macri 35.98%
Scioli 34.95%
Massa 21.13%
Trot guy 3.45%
Stolbizer 2.67%
Rodriguez Saa 1.83%

To be fair, the province of BsAs is only half in and Scioli is ahead there and K-central Santa Cruz has yet to report the bulk of its votes, so Scioli should come first in the end, but there's gonna be a runoff and Macri is unexpectedly strong.

In other pleasant news, it appears as if the Pro candidate for governor of BsAs Maria Eugenia Vidal will defeat the FPV's candidate, the thoroughly horrible likely criminal/drug dealer Aníbal Fernández. With 62.7% reporting, she has 39.7% to 34.8%.

With 98.66% reporting, Macri has won with 51.44%. What's interesting is that he won despite a narrow loss in the province of Buenos Aires, where Scioli has a bit over 51% of the vote.

You didn't mention the even more hilarious part about how Cristina's gang seized control of the presidency's official Twitter account and has refused to surrender it, turning it into an (now unofficial) Kirchnerista account 'reminiscing' her and her husband's presidencies. I was very pleased to hear that the crazy lady was intent on acting like a crazy lady till the end.
