SPECIAL REPORT: Jude Celestin Only Got 12 Percent Of The Votes?

A Caribbean news web site said and I quote: "It has been reported that Jude Celestin, the candidate of President Preval's party, received just about 12 percent of the vote."

The biggest panic in the November 28 Haiti elections is that President Rene Preval was trying to rig the elections in favor of Jude Celestin... His hand-picked successor, everybody kept on saying...

As soon as voting began, the were allegations of massive fraud everywhere and mentions of the INITE political party's involvement.

And all they got 12 percent of the vote?

Interesting...

What do you think really happened?
