Paris is now unrecognizable. Will there be riots over tonight's election?
I’m in Paris, France right now, where the country is undergoing a critical run-off election that could lead to a monumental shift in its political identity.
SHOCKING

Some areas of Paris are now unrecognizable. Almost all immigrants, African-style street markets, litter and garbage everywhere on the ground. Not even mentioning the smell.

Today is the final round of voting, where the right-wing, anti-immigration Rassemblement National (National Rally) party is expected to capture a majority in the National Assembly. Standing in their way is a coalition of left-wing parties and a hostile media determined to keep the so-called “far-right” out of government.

Paris is on edge. Riots are expected tonight after the results are announced. In preparation, businesses have begun boarding up their doors and windows. Plywood and metal fencing now cover many popular shops in the area.

The shops are getting ready; they have boarded up their windows with plywood.
Massive riots are expected tonight, and they fear damage and theft.

How will France react to tonight’s results? There’s a lot at stake — we’re seeing reports that the country is expecting a record voter turnout. I’ll be on the ground here in Paris to cover what happens next. (And I promise to keep a safe distance if riots do break out).Â
