Senior politicians from Orban's ruling Fidesz party declared victory shortly after voting finished at 1.00 p.m. ET, citing exit polls which they said showed 95 percent of Hungarian voters, or more than 3 million people, had rejected the quotas.
An overwhelming majority of 45 percent even voting. It's invalid since the laws requires a 50 percent turnout to be binding. But that, of course, won't slow down Orban.
