Jump To Comment: 1Exit polls suggest votes were as follows between 45% and 47% for ND and 39% - 41.5% for PASAK.
Greeks are obliged to vote, which is interesting. 9,800,000 are supposed to have voted today between 7am and 7pm.
There were 545,000 new voters participating in the elections.
There will be later "no hiccups/gremlins intefering" an official result at 22h30 greek time
The allegations of "nastyness" between the main competing parties ND and PASOK were mostly of a religious prejudice type:-
We might remember that Greece has had quite a place in the "theocractic" as well as "democratic" list of goverments.
An emergency investigation was ordered last night by the Athens DA, after a PASOK complaint that ND officials in party cars were promoting the circulation of an informative flyer addressed to members of the clergy, which was of a content insulting towards PASOK President Giorgos Papandreou. New Democracy Press Spokesperson Thodoris Roussopoulos spoke of provocations, while he called all democratic citizens to denounce any such practices and plans. PASOK MP Costas Laliotis made mention of a “Rigilis-gate”. Mr. Pagalos filed a lawsuit. The Church distanced itself, while PASOK spokesperson Anna Diamantopoulou had cleared it of any implication from the very beginning. Mr. Papandreou spoke of a revival of the state of the Right, Mr. Karamanlis responded with accusations of an attempt for polarization which will fall through.

Meanwhile, US athletes going to the Olympics have been offered psychiatric help to counter the usual round of nasty anti-americanism they have to deal with.
Hopefully such help will not include more doping.
