Not really hitting the news here but #Argentina are holding presidential elections today. The front runner appears to be a scary fascist clown, promising to Make Argentina Great Again by... shutting down the government.
Polls are open, and unless anyone's got a better alternative, this news station is covering the day. Accompanied by pop music that's possibly a little too loud, though I did chuckle when one presenter sang "Nos vamos a votar" to "Another one bites the dust".
Lot of rain about which might affect voters in some regions.

Absolutely manic scenes (to UK eyes) as Florez emerges from her house to go vote, and the poll station is closed to everyone else. "We're supposed to be equals" one guy complains. Milei also turns up at his car and is surrounded by reporters.
Meanwhile Bullrich camp have "Good feelings" about the results.
But it's still the most uncertain election since the return to democracy 40 years ago, a sentiment shown here and voiced by an older citizen earlier in the broadcast.
Polls have closed and each camp is claiming victory to an extent. Milei says he's won with 36% ahead of Massa at 30%. Massa saying they are top with 30%. Bullrich saying second place behind Massa.
45% will win today, or 40% plus a ten point lead. Or it will go to the next round.
Milei at the moment is confident that he will be president based on their exit polls.
