Lost I.D. cards, protests, rigged results, and manipulation marked the recent election

Writing in her blog for Ms. magazine, Gina Ulysse, associate professor of anthropology, associate professor of feminist gender and sexuality studies, associate professor of African American studies, discusses the recent elections in Haiti, which she says were rife with corruption, confusion and angry voters.
