27798: Tortora: Fwd: Haiti TV Report (fwd)





From Patrick Tortora vtortora@capecod.net

    On Haitian Television Channel 5  this evening a cameraman was following
Haitians who were taking him through a rubbish dump near Citi Soleil. The
people leading the cameraman around were showing hundreds if not thousands of
presidential ballots that had been marked for a presidential candidate and
signed on the reverse by an official of the Electoral Council. All the ballots
that were shown to the camera were marked for Preval. There were also many
cardboard ballot boxes littering the dump. The inference was that legally
marked ballots were dumped in the landfill. Even if these ballots were counted
before being discarded, what were they doing in the dump before all ballots
were counted and before election result were announced, not to say anything
about a possible recount?
