Good Turnout in the French Elections

The turnout in today's French presidential elections is right now at around 74% of the electorate. It's projected to go as high as 87%. Pretty astounding, eh? Compare this to 2004's 55.3% and 2000's 51.3% in the US presidential elections.

A this point, it looks like Sarkozy and Royal are the two candidates headed to the next round, the run-off.
