Lol taiwan claims mainland China and Mongolia as theirs. Good thing they are a complete weakling, same thing with their backer america. 

 

Regarding Hong Kong, only thing america can do is gather 27 countries to condemn China and have the news organizations reports these 27 countries as the international community, very funny.

Ann Coulter siding with a Democrat is one of those things I thought I'd never see.

But well, it's more about her being against McConnell due to his opposition to Kris Kobach.

First exit polls are in and Andrzej Duda takes 50,4% of the vote! Super close but Law & Justice has it locked down for the next three years now.

 

Turnout was 69% which is huge for Poland! Duda was supposed to be favored with a lower turnout as it's usual the case with Law & Justice as well.

I believe that votes from people who votes in other countries can decide about final results, I heard that in most countries Trzaskowski was favourite

Certainly looks like some clear splits in that result.

Young vs old, cities vs. rural, east vs. west, high vs. low education. Pretty close among the genders, though. But overall a classic case for political scientists :p

As far as I can read out without translation, it's mostly about queue to the embassy/consulate by people on holiday in Croatia (quite a popular destination of Poles as they have a true sea instead of cold and dirty Baltic).
EDIT: From the official statement - in Split there was about 6 hours (!) long queue at the moment of closing the voting. All of them are allowed to vote, consul stays at the end of the queue to control the thing.

So I guess the real question is: Will Poland become the second Eastern Block nation to fall behind the Iron Curtain once more?

 

The exit/late polls aren’t encouraging at the moment, but it’s still close enough to change.

    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
