Last Sunday, it looked like Marine Le Pen's National Front, a far-right party known for its anti-immigrant rhetoric and stance against the EU, might make an unprecedented leap to power.

In the first round of key regional elections, the party looked like it could take power in six of France's 13 regions.

But in round two a week later, the National Front was completely trounced. The party didn't take a single region.

There is an old saying from the Crime Cartels here in the U.S.

"It's not the Votes that matter"

"It's the Counting that matters"

"Keep Counting until you get the result I ordered"

Nyuk...Nyuk...Nyuk...

As with most "crime-scenes" here in the U.S. its the early reports that tell the tale, not the "official version"?
