If I ever found myself on the opposite side of an issue with you, I'd just up and change my mind to conform to yours. You DO come up with the data.

Or else you only open your mouth on subjects you know something about. Rather a rare trait<gg>

None of those articles discusses Arisitide's election. Your fan club seems to be impressed, though. -g-

By the way, it is very easy to provide direct links to article from that website. It just requires the Internet skills of a 6 year old. -g- Right click on the article, and scroll down to "Copy Link Location".

The OAS raves about the fairness of the May 2000 elections:

I think what you have done is bought into the U.S. propaganda campaign. A few of the lower level elections (about 7 out of 700 seats) were disputed. Following the U.S. government's lead, the U.S. media conflated that story with Aristide to make it appear that his own election was questioned. It was not.

I stand corrected! It was not 1% of the Haitian elections that were disputed. It was 0.1% of them:

<<< In 2000-the same year that George Bush stole the US presidency-Haiti held elections for 7,500 positions nationwide. Election observers contested the winners of seven senate seats. President Aristide balked at first, but eventually yielded and the seven senators resigned. >>>
