Quelle surprise!

People in Fillon's camp calling for Fillon's voters to vote Le Pen.

Are we seeing a split with the Republicans?

Raffarin calls for everyone to unite behind Macron

Juppe also endorses Macron

So it looks like Le Pen is going to win 3 departements, Aisne, Ardennes, and Var.

4 (Pas-de-Calais)

Macron has won Ardennes with 50.7%

Looks like all the votes outstanding are Paris and areas around Paris.  I guess how badly Le Pen does in them will determine if she crosses 35% or not.  This is surprising for me.  I thought that threshold would be something like 40%.

And Lyon and Bordeaux. Le Figaro has a final prediction on its site of 65.7-34.3. She won't make 35% with Lyon, Bordeaux and most of Paris not in yet.

Var will probably go Macron once Toulon is included.

Not so sure, Toulon has a historically strong FN.

Orange should be a good indication as to whether Le Pen lost the Southern vote. Bompard endorsed Fillon IIRC. Le Pen has won marginally there and I really think her "poor" performance in the South is overstated. She probably has similar shares to what she had in the regionals.

Macron is apparently in the lead with 56% in Toulon.
