EXPLAINER: How France’s old-school voting system works
Paper ballots tucked in paper envelopes. No absentee voting, and no early voting either.
Voters make their choices in a booth, with the curtains closed, then place their ballot in an envelope that is then put into a transparent ballot box.
They must show photo identification and sign a document, next to their name, to complete the process.
Mail-in voting was banned in 1975 amid fears of potential fraud.
Machine-voting has been allowed on an experimental basis, but the purchase of new machines has been frozen since 2008 due to security concerns.
Only about 60 towns still use them, out of 35,000 municipalities in France.
Volunteers count the ballots one by one, by hand. Officials then use state-run software to register and report results.
But legally only the paper counts.
If a result is challenged, the paper ballots are recounted manually.

The question is, will the Globalists find a way to inject fraudulent votes & rig it in Macron’s favor? He’s one of them, Le Pen is not.

BigTech’s Invisible Election Manipulation Machine | Epoch Times
Robert Epstein has been researching and looking at how the biggest tech companies influence human behavior, and conducting extensive monitoring projects of bias in these companies’ products, with a particular focus on Google.
Epstein, a senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology in California, called his findings “frightening” because of the tech companies’ ability to manipulate behavior on a global level.
“They hold in their hands the power to change thinking behavior on a massive scale, the power in close elections anyway, to pick the winner in the country after country after country,” Epstein told Epoch TV’s “American Thought Leaders” host Jan Jekielek during a recent interview.
Epstein said that Google’s search engine shifted 2.6 million to 10.4 million votes to Hillary Clinton over a period of months before the 2016 election, and later shifted at least 6 million votes to Joe Biden and other Democrats.
“We calculated at one point that as of 2015, upwards of 25 percent of the national elections in the world were being controlled, being determined, by Google’s search algorithm,” he said.
Epstein is making these comments after conducting rigorous studies, spanning almost a decade, and managing to document ephemeral experiences of manipulation on Google and other companies’ platforms.
He said fleeting experiences, such as a flashing newsfeed, a search result, or a suggested video, are the ideal form of brainwashing because they aren’t recorded and are hard to document.
“They affect us, they disappear, they’re stored nowhere, and they’re gone,” Epstein said. “People have no idea they’re being manipulated, number one, and number two, authorities can’t go back in time to see what people were being shown, in other words, how they were being manipulated.”
One of his team’s recent experiments includes randomly assigning people to groups, with search results favoring candidate A in one group and favoring candidate B in the other. The idea was to shift the participants’ voting preference, which Epstein thought would be for about three percent of the participants.
“Very first experiment we ever ran on this, we shifted voting preferences by more than 40 percent. So I thought that’s impossible, that can’t be repeated. The experiment with another group got a shift of more than 60 percent. So I realized, wait a minute, maybe I’ve stumbled on something here.”
These findings are the greatest discovery in the behavioral and social sciences in over 100 years, according to Epstein, who said his next step is to track the influence operation on a much larger scale. He believes systematic unmasking of their mind-control techniques will neuter their ability to interfere with our democracy, our lives, and our children.
“This is the solution, which is permanent, large-scale monitoring 24 hours a day in all 50 states, doing to them what they do to us and our kids. If we do it to them, if we monitor, we capture, we archive and we expose, OK, then they will stay out of our lives.”

How many of you know what James Comey left the Dept of (in)Justice to do? He went to Lockheed Martin to be their Chief Legal Officer.
Where did he leave LockMart to go to? To be FBI Director. The whole time he sat on HSBC Bank’s board of directors.
And magically, once he got to FBI, investigations into Chinese Espionage stopped.
See how all that works?

Do you know why the Left is trying so hard to ban guns & to censor/stop Americans from talking about 1776…?
Because they’re scared to death of 1776 repeating.
