A Haitian voter in the Carrefour Feuille neighborhood of Port-au-Prince pores over the presidential and congressional candidates in the 1990 elections that brought Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a former priest, to power as president. Aristide was elected by 80% of the voting population. All over the country, citizens lined up into the night, voting by candlelight and braving threats from drive-by thugs who shot into the crowds.
