How braindead someone must be to vote Sarah Knafo ?

She is from an extrem-right party, her only opinion/policy is racism, nothing else, literally. She used some degenerate AI videos during her campaign. She proposed to fit every streets with AI microphones that would detect attacks and call the police automatically.

When I was in high school, my French teacher who was a French expat was mortified that 20% of the country had voted for the first Le Pen. She said it was a wake-up call that there were so many reactionaries in their midst. 

I had no idea it was only going to get worse.

I don't know the candidates, but it's interesting that Reconquête has so much more votes than RN.

Dati and Bournazel have an alliance which may provide Dati with most of that 11.3%:

Knafo's 10.4% is obviously never going to Gregoire, bringing that combined vote to 47.2% (minus, say, 25% leakage, yielding ~42%).

Gregoire could gain Chickirou's 11.7%, minus leakage, yielding ~47% (of previous voters).

Then there will be voters who didn't participate in the 1st round. It's close, but I'd still give the edge to Gregoire.
