Polling precincts that drew long lines of voters for a legislative election only six months ago stood empty throughout much of the day. And when Aristide begins his five-year term next February he will enjoy little legitimacy beyond the shores of the impoverished Caribbean island nation. But none of that stopped the onetime apostle of Haitian democracy from hailing the vote and promising a role for the opposition in his future government....
