Re: OVERSEAS CONGRESS 69.64% COUNTED (none / 0)

I can see on La Repubblica's site that it's, for the Senate:

Europe (453 out of 479 counted):
53.0% Prodi vs 24.4% Berlu => +2 seats for Prodi

Asia/Africa/Oceania/Antarctica (107 out of 113 counted):
46.1% Prodi vs 35.6% Berlu => +1 seat for Prodi

America Settentrionale e Centrale (92 out of 100 counted):
37.8% Prodi vs 30.6% Berlu => +1 seat for Prodi

America Meridionale (182 out of 204 counted):
31,6% Ass Italiane, 29.3% Prodi, 11% Berlu => if I interpreted de Ghondi correctly, the Ass Italiane get nothing as they are below a national 0.4%, being present only here, thus the +1 seat goes to Prodi?

So Prodi wins all overseas senatorial seats, which makes him win the senate => was 154 vs 155 before, now becomes 160 vs 155.

Since Prodi also wins la Camera, it's a good day after all.

Morality: Italians abroad are massively against Berlusconi, is it because they do not watch Raï TV?

America Meridionale is also 2 like Europe (over 200 000 Italians voted there, which means that there are a lot more residents, while Europe stands at 450 000 voters).

I linked to the electoral law, and there is nothing in it about discounting overseas votes under 3% or any other threshold.

North and Central America get two seats, so apparently La Repubblica counts the opposite way than I did, must be giving 1 to Forza in North America.

Sudamerica does not go to Prodi (none / 0)

No.. the Associazioni wins in Sudamerica. There is no national threshold with the foreign vote.

Distribution (none / 0)

This projects a distribution of seats
4 more for Prodi, 1 more for Berlusconi, 1 for ASS Italini Sud America.

If presents results hold... we win by two senators (taking out the crazy and the the Sudamerican 1)

Re: Distribution (none / 0)

So we can proudly say that Italy saved Europe today, and Europe saved Italy (I mean check it out, in Europe's senatorial seat race, it's 53% for Prodi vs 24.4% for Berlu!!!!)
