Thanks to Claire for posting this succinct complement to her series on the French election. I found it entertaining, informative, and educational. It became educational because my French is so limited I had to go to an online dictionary five times to understand some of the phrases Mr. Kapil used. In so doing I ended up going down a couple of interesting rabbit holes (grandes gueles, germanopratin) that caused me to learn some new things. Time well spent.
"Elections to the lower house of parliament would now be held, with no forewarning, in three weeks."
So I have to ask, in view of this unexpected, unprecedented outcome:
Will French 'citizens' be permitted to vote without having verified their identification in order to prove that they indeed are fully valid voters all?
Will the subsequent vote tally be available with 24 hours (or even less) of the end of the election process?
Voters in France must show a state-issued ID before casting their ballot. The official vote tally will be published by the Ministry of Interior by midnight, or the next morning at the latest.

I will have to fully read and digest all this but, have to say your writing and insights are just incredible. Wow!
