Haiti's Preval Calls for Ballot Review
Story aired: Wednesday, February 15, 2006



After losing in the fist round of Haiti's first democratic election since 2004, front-runner Rene Preval is calling for a review of election results. Among his complaints are alleged voter fraud and thousands of discarded marked ballots found in a garbage dump.

Tens of thousands of Preval's supporters have taken to the streets of Port au Prince to protest the electoral irregularities.
