Thanks guys. Carl: any specific concerns?
From: Carl Carter
It seems "old school" as this article may help. Then again, it says that just like in the UK, so there are many ways to steal elections, (Cambridge Analytica) and control of media. I am concerned.

They are just voting for prez. No senators, mayors, governors, city council, etc, and no ballot propositions.
Because there is only 1 vote on a ballot to count. they can get the votes counted efficiently, in precinct, by hand. https://countedascast.org/french-election-procedures/ 1 or 2 votes on a ballot is true for most countries. SF has had as many as 55 votes on each ballot to count.
last I read, they do not allow vote by mail, but instead allow proxy voting, somebody goes and votes for you
no early voting, but it's on a Sunday.
there are limits on campaign contributions and TV advertising
when I lived there, there was a media blackout on last minute polling results, to prevent manipulation.
Macron had a 10 pt lead, and growing. LePen just got caught making a loan repayent ... to a russian military contractor. Very bad optics.
