Photos of electoral map at the "remontada", a day on Twitter

• Election day on Sunday kept voters in suspense, with polls released on the eve of the first round pointing to narrow gaps between first-round favorites.

• Online too, the suspense lasted.

• The Jean-Luc Mélenchon

  hype

  of the past few weeks, among influencers and social network addicts, has finally given birth to a mouse.

  But hosted a bittersweet 2017 election night late into the night.

Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, it is the trifecta in the order of this first round of the presidential election, which was resolved on Sunday.

If more than one in four voters did not come to vote, the day still largely revolved around this ballot, social networks in mind.

From hashtags in

to thinly veiled recommendations from influencers to thousands of photos of electoral cards and ballots in the voting booth, this first round also caused a stir on social networks.

The selfie in the voting booth, however very little recommended – as entrusted by the Ministry of the Interior to our colleagues from TF1 – has flourished online, all political colors combined.

On the voter card as on the identity card, data that must be kept confidential can be recovered and used.

Rebellious influencers give voice

The “effective vote”, leitmotif of the candidate La France insoumise in recent weeks, has found a strong echo on social networks.

On Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and elsewhere, no Frenchman could miss a "friend" or an influencer calling for Jean-Luc Mélenchon to vote.

In the stories or in the post, with a lot of humor and repetition, the defenders of the rebellious candidacy gave everything not to relive the scenario of elimination in the first round of 2017. It was a waste of time.

On Twitter, the trend even saw the name of the rebellious candidate pass with a fault: the hashtag “#Melanchon” rose very high on Sunday.

"#Remontada", the star hashtag of this election night

At 8 p.m., when the first estimates were announced, the gap seemed too big for La France insoumise: Jean-Luc Mélenchon was credited with 20.1% and Marine Le Pen at 23.3%.

More than three points that seemed impossible to fill.

But as the evening progressed, the gap was greatly reduced.

It was enough for the networks to get carried away and push the hashtag #Remontada into the list of those most used on Twitter.

Glued to the progress of the count, especially in the big cities where the offices closed at 8 p.m., Internet users stayed up late, filled with the hope of an LFI-style hold-up.

I can't believe I have a partial tomorrow but instead of reviewing or resting I watch every 3 seconds if JLM goes back.

I'm going to kill myself if he doesn't pass the truth

Around 5am, it's a cold shower: Jean-Luc Mélenchon still recorded a delay of 500,000 votes on Marine Le Pen, while 97% of the ballots had been counted.

So close, yet so far.

There will be no singing mornings for these Melenchonist e-knights.

8 a.m. still want to cry with rage #REMONTADA

#RadioLondres at the bottom of its credibility

In pole position on Twitter for a decade on election days, #RadioLondres suffered the brunt of an unfortunate diversion on Sunday, distorting forecasts often close to the final result.

Appeared in the early 2010s to circumvent article L52-2 of the electoral code, prohibiting the media from disclosing the day before and the day of the election any poll or partial results before 8 p.m., this hashtag was mainly based on the Belgian and Swiss media, which are not subject to this rule.

IMPORTANT: I ​​remind all #ZemmourPresident fans that to share your fake news on the election results you should not use the hashtag #RadioLondres but #RadioVichy.

Thanks in advance.

But on Sunday, despite calls for supporters of Eric Zemmour to use the hashtag #RadioVichy, they largely continued to use #RadioLondres to try to convince and convince themselves that their candidate would be in the second round.

#RadioLondres

The champagne is chilled

I repeat,

The champagne is chilled.

#RadioLondres has failed but trolls and other e-supporters have had to face the facts: screaming victory on social networks does not lead to the second round in 2022. Right or left.
