How easy was it to commit fraud in Haiti’s election?
The man on the far left in the blue shirt, wearing the backpack, is Rony Gachelin, a Haitian-American who served as translator for our photographer Julie Dermansky. This footage shows him approaching the table, taking a ballot, and bringing it to the voting booth—despite the fact that he is not registered to vote in Haiti.
On days when he is especially depressed, Noel Paul stands behind the worn chain-link fence at the airport to watch the planes come in.
“I know when the flight from New York arrives, and I just stare at the people coming from New York,” he says. “There are times that I have such nostalgia for New York, so that’s what I do sometimes.”
Paul, 29, would be living in New York himself now, instead of under a battered white tarp in a Hatian schoolyard, were it not for two things — he is homosexual, and he’s HIV positive.
