     @w7voa The President of Turkey is directly elected through the two-round system, under which a candidate must obtain a simple majority (more than 50%) of the popular vote to be elected. If no candidate secures an overall majority outright, then a runoff is held between the two most voted-for candidates from the first round, the winner of which is then declared elected: Wikipedia

     @w7voa
     Bullshit, he'd definitely default to 'election fraud' excuse when he's not winning.

     It has happened to several other countries besides the US.

     And he will use the same excuses as others, like 'fake ballots' from China, or manipulated by Jews, etc.

     They all share the same fascist playbook.

     #Turkey President Erdogan says he could still win the election outright but would accept a run-off.

     @horen @w7voa There is always the option of canceling democracy when people vote for the opposition.

     @w7voa He will have to accept a run-off based on missing the majority, not because he is such a nice guy.
