Today is election day
Sep. 24th, 2017 12:29 pmAnd if memory serves, that was the most crowded polling station I've ever been to.
Jörg says it's probably a bad sign because it means that all those people who feel abandoned and misrepresented by regular politics crawled out of their holes to vote AfD (alt-very-right).
I'm hoping that rather, more people than usual were motivated to vote for the moderates in order to prevent the AfD getting too much of a foothold. Alternatively, since one of the major candidates (Liberal Democrats, i.e., sort of centre-ish) was born and raised in our little town, maybe they all want to give him an extra push.
Well, we'll find out tomorrow, but it's stressing me TF out. I mean. A high turnout is a good thing, but not if they vote AfD! Cmon fellow Germans, don't mess this up!
