Polls apart: World hit by voting fever

LENT starts today — a fitting comedown from the hysteria of America’s Super Duper Tuesday, which yesterday tossed pancakes aside to captivate every corner of the world.

Everybody wanted their say, from the 100 voters in Indonesia to the couple of hundred Democrats who arrived drenched, but determined, into O’Neill’s pub on Dublin’s Suffolk Street.

One man was already queuing when Ireland’s designated Democrat voting centre in O’Neill’s opened at 10.30am.
