Announcement

Amb. Raymond Joseph

Former Haitian ambassador to the United States

Director of "A Dollar Tree for Haiti"

Gist of his reference to Haiti Democracy Project during panel discussion

The Haiti Democracy Project's electoral mission caught a government candidate attempting to pad his totals by one or two hundred votes. It published the photographic evidence.

The ambassador cited this as an example of the fraud in the legislative race that completely altered outcomes and created gridlock between the legislature and President Martelly.
