World: Haitian elections: They needed a good day. They got a bad one.
- 12 of the 19 presidential candidates say the election is a sham source
- » The end effect: For a country constantly overwhelmed by chaos, it’s just another thing. Nearly all of the major candidates protested the results, claiming that they were skewed in favor of current president Rene Preval’s government. They said as much in a statement: “We are asking the men and women of Haiti to organize peacefully against the Preval government. We are asking everyone to mobilize.” Haiti needed a good day today. Instead, they got another bad one. If the election results are a sham, may the people who slanted them feel the wrath of the international community. Surely Wyclef Jean, of all people, would’ve done better than this.
