Trakya'nın Neresinde Yaşıyoruz?

Day 1 belonged to Tekirdağ, until İstanbul snatched a one-day lead on day 2. Tekirdağ answered immediately on day 3 and never trailed again across 422 days, cruising through a mid-30s cushion for most of the race.

But the gap didn't hold. İstanbul ground the margin down from the mid-30s to just 2 points, and by the final tally Tekirdağ's 30% (2,205 votes) barely held off İstanbul's 28% (2,055) — a slow-motion comeback that fell 150 votes short.

• The one-day flip · İstanbul led only on day 2 before Tekirdağ retook it for good.
• Slow squeeze · Tekirdağ's lead shrank from 35% to just 2 points by the end.
• Homeland vs. diaspora · Turkey-based voters lean Tekirdağ; US voters lean İstanbul instead.
