After the Haiti election yesterday, Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen voiced her opinion regarding the allegations of irregularities.

Here is a statement by Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, soon to be chair of the House Foreign Affairs committee:

"I am deeply concerned about and deeply regret reports of serious irregularities in today's elections in Haiti.

They must be investigated immediately and steps taken to correct this wrong perpetrated against the democratic aspirations of the Haitian people."Going forward, I urge all parties to exercise calm.

Violence must be avoided.

All parties and officials must work together to ensure that all necessary steps are taken so that the Haitian people can be confident in a fair and accurate result which reflects their will."
