Mark Schneider should also know that when Jean-Bertrand Aristide was elected, there were 12,000 polling places rather than 800. The reduction in the number of polling places stacks the election against Aristide supporters. Many of these supporters live in rural areas and will have to walk five hours to stand in line for two hours to vote. In this instance, the U.N. is helping implement U.S. foreign policy, which is anti-Aristide.
