I wonder if Erdogan can win the election with 44 thousand people dead and such a poor response plus all the building violations. I won't be surprised if he does.

You can win any election when you're a dictator that doesn't count votes....

It's easier to do things like that when the rest of NATO doesn't see you as a potential thorn in their side.

He hasn’t rigged elections. That much is still intact at least, for now.

Honestly I would be shocked if he doesn't try to postpone the election in some attempt to recover face before votes come in. Assuming he doesn't fuck with the election some other way

He's going to postpone the election. In all honesty the devestation is so great that I'm not sure it's feesible to hold it on time even if Erdogan didn't have an obvious reason to move it back.

Almost as if law is just a mirage in Turkey.

There is no 'legal' way to move elections AFAIK.

But Turkey is a de facto dictatorship so it is not surprising.
