Voters in Haiti elections face balloting chaos

HAITIANS attempted to vote yesterday in a presidential election ballot marred by scuffles and disorder.

Some polling stations opened late others not at all in the first presidential election since a bloody revolt two years ago pushed this bloodied, impoverished nation toward total collapse.

Although polls were scheduled to open at 6am local time (11am Irish time), some did not open until hours later. Because of organisational problems, voting hours were extended.
