Well, looks like the Austrians are considerably smarter than the USAsians.

VIENNA — Austria's voters rejected a far-right candidate for president on Sunday, the climax of a bitter yearlong campaign that was widely watched across Europe as a measure of how high fringe parties could climb in mainstream politics.

The election, normally a sleepy, provincial contest for a largely ceremonial post, had Europeans on edge for its potential to send yet another jolt to political establishments in a year when far-right populist forces have advanced on both sides of the Atlantic.

It was widely viewed as a test of the anti-migrant and anti-Muslim forces that have ridden a populist path to power in Hungary, Poland and the UK and have gained strength in France and even in Germany and the United States since the election of Donald J. Trump.
