Check out this article, G. Simon: http://www.haitipolicy.org/content/3448.htm "Few violent incidents were reported throughout the day: in the West Department, gangs linked to Candidate Rene Preval tried to intimidate voters in few polling stations; in the Artibonite, supporters of Youri Latortue a senate candidate who is also a nephew of the current Prime Minister had several violent confrontations with Preval supporters which negatively impacted on voter turn out in the area; in Fonds Verrettes, local electoral authorities only allowed Preval�s representatives to access the polling stations. At this stage, all signs suggest that for the Presidential and Legislative races, the majority of the candidates will have to prepare for a runoff."
