Bring Aristide back to Haiti, enough is enough! Haiti deserves a fair election. The courage of the People of Haiti has proven - time and again - that they deserve to have their constitution respected.

However, 129 seats in parliament are also up for grab and it is those who control legislature that will approve Haiti's prime minister. So far the media have neglected to inform the public on the outcome of the parliamentary election. At this juncture, it is fair to conclude the parliamentary election is also fraudulent....

Counting Some of the Votes in Haiti Haiti’s elections on February 7 went well enough that the post-election vote counting should have been uncontroversial. The turnout was huge, there was almost no violence, and the people’s choice was so clear that the second place finisher received less than 12% of the vote. But incredibly, a week later the final results have not been declared, and the Electoral Council is in disarray. The voters have taken to the streets to protect their vote, and the clear winner is alleging fraud....
