The Polls are Closed. They're Counting the Votes
Zurich's fine. Turkey's holding its breath, and so am I. Official results will be published here.
AEK is live-Tweeting the counting of the votes:
• And that embargo usually ends like 6-7 pm local time
By law, Higher electoral board of Turkey puts an embargo on sharing the results for Turkish media but not sure thats valid for Twitter :)
I'll be live tweeting the Turkish general election results every 15 mins-Feel free to share
At the polling station this AM: Police officer to me: "Do you vote in America?" Me: "Yes." Him: "That's a good thing." #turkishelections
And ...
@hkubra according to unofficial reports so far AKP seems to have got 1/3 of the votes from #Izmir - a stronghold for main opp CHP #TurkishElections

Our member Okan notes: "Eastern and Middle Anatolia will be dominated by the AKP, but may not be representative of the rest of the nation. First results will come from Eastern and South-Eastern Turkey."
And now I have to catch my flight to Florence.

Re: The Polls are Closed. They're Counting the Votes
Does anyone else get the willies at the thought of Claire in Zurich? Buy gold, silver, tin, molybdenum, bauxite, oil, anything but get your money out of currencies as quickly as possible. She's up to no good.
What is going on at these polling stations that three people keeled over dead? We have people faint at political rallies, but I can't think of a single fatality, much less three in one place. No wonder Turkey thrives on conspiracy theories if that kind of thing is happening.
