Class War in Haiti exemplified by election confusion...

The majority of impoverished citizens of Haiti throw their support to apparent winner of their presidential election, Rene Preval.

He has issued an investigation to prove that he had held 54% of the vote, but the results are still not told until further notice.

"The lack of organized violence and absence of widespread fraud signal a widespread commitment among Haitians to transform their political landscape."
