Second Rounds of French Presidential Elections - Visualized

That's because you think as an American. In France, we have two turns. This year, for the very first time, it was not a right/left or right/right second round, but a right/far right one. So literally all the loosing candidates at the first round called their electors to vote against far right. As a result of this situation, Jean-Marie Le Pen got almost as any votes at the first and at the second rounds. So no, it was not a good year for the right side, just a bad one for democracy.
