Haitian elections

I found this article about the recent Haitian elections to be somewhat saddening, but mainly very uplifting. The fact that people are risking bodily harm and sacrificing so much just to cast their ballot is very inspiring. It shows a true interest and desire in the people to control their own future through personal involvlement and a democratic system. Despite major kinks in this election such as violence and malpreparation, I think that this round of voting will set a positive precident for the political future of Haiti.
