Are there any protections in the actual election vote tabulating structure which would disallow any 'US Republican style vote suppression or mischief' in which Sarkozy and his minions might want to do to guarantee his election?

Anotherwards; is it possible Sarkozy and his party could steal the election like Bush tried to do against Gore and succeeded against Kerry?

The French voting system is rather trustable and trusted, with the exception of voting machines that are being introduced in a few precincts. In paper ballot precincts, counting is done by voluntary veters with oversight by both parties, and every single precinct has to publish results - they will also be published in the local dailies, etc... and the sums aren't that hard to do.
