Just France, I think.

In Austria, on the other hand, the progressive presidential candidate was losing in 2016, but "miraculously" won through mail-in votes. Even their Supreme Court called BS on that, so they had to repeat the election. (And in the repeated election, the progressive won under less suspicious circumstances.)
