L'AlGeriie Va Très L0iin En Coupe Du MonDe?
In a Facebook poll of 2,435 respondents, 28.9% chose “Oui”. How we count
Oui and 2e Tour finish locked at 703 votes apiece — 28.9% each, not a rounding trick, an actual tie. The gap between them flipped four separate times across 50 days, with the last swing landing on day 34, sixteen days before the poll closed, and it held just long enough to force the deadlock rather than settle it.
The tiebreaker sits in the demographics: 2e Tour is the only option where women outnumber men (43 to 28), while Oui splits almost evenly. Algeria, the single largest voting bloc at 68 votes, backed 2e Tour too — meaning the country that showed up the most didn't back the option it tied with, it backed the one that held the edge on the scoreboard used to declare a leader.
