I was hoping for a big first ballot victory for Kilicdaroglu.

Which I knew was a long shot. Now that its this close, there is no way that Erdogan will lose. He will make sure of that. If its close enough that if he loses by a few votes, he will get away with a Jan 6th but with the army, and claim power by saying there was some kind of corruption with the vote.
