August 8, 2015- Updated Aug 9

Polling stations will open in less than 12 hours and there are many loose ends that will never be completed in time for the voting cycle.

A major explosion must follow!

Printed Mandates are required to gain access to the nation’s 1500 voting stations. The CEP has known tis, since 1987, but here we are, the night before voting starts, and only those parties associated with Martelly and Preval have the necessary paperwork.

All of the others, including Lavalas, have been left waiting. The CEP says they don’t have any ink and they are trying to borrow someone’s machine.

Not much use, with the CEP in Petionville and people needing Mandates in Bombardopolis, Cap Haitian, Jeremie and other far away locations.

Martelly has really gone out of his way to fix things.

If Haiti doesn’t see a melt-down on Sunday, it will surely see an acceleration  of violence on Monday as the people demonstrate their dissatisfaction.

Martelly is on the slide toward the exit.

Haiti is on the slide to nowhere.

Sad, very sad.

11:00 PM and I add some details.

Port-de-Paix, one place that is supposed to have 9 voting locations has only one. People are asking where to vote.

Numbers listed, for voters to get information do not work.

A CEP members car burned, several voting offices attacked.

LAVALAS has asked elections be cancelled.

Entire CEP incompetence beginning to be obvious.

Some suggest CEP President Opont hs gone into hiding.

7 hours till polling stations open.
