27706: De Verteuil (comment) Elections (fwd)

At 6.28 am the CEP website showed Preval's 888452 votes as 48.73% of the
total "valides" votes. The "nuls" votes are excluded but the "blancs" votes
are included in the "valides".
This leads to an interesting supposition.
If you exclude the "blancs" votes from the "valides" Mr Preval bounces back
up over the 50% mark!
Total votes: 1970965 less 147632 nuls and 85283 blancs = 1738050
888452 is 51.12% of 1738050.
