RE: The speed of translations

Saint-Vil noted: "Meanwhile, last year, there
apparently were no time or money available to have the
Electoral Law delivered to Haitian voters in their own
language." 

Actually, the Electoral Law for the 2000 elections,
published in July of 1999, was distributed as a
booklet with both French and Creole translations. I
have a copy of it here in my office - it was first
made widely available during voter registration in
March, 2000.
