...Haitians are less subtle. So far, the only troubles Colombian traffickers have had in Haiti are the frenzied crowds who sometimes ransack their boats and planes upon arrival, hoping to grab some cocaine they can sell back in their shantytowns--at cut-rate prices that would give a drug lord heart failure. European tourists who recently came ashore in sailboats were beaten by mobs because their vessels contained no dope. Diplomats already call Haiti a failed state.

The monopolistic source of the data is the Voter News Service, an exit-polling and vote-counting consortium of the major TV networks plus the Associated Press. (TIME, like many print publications, pays a fee to share in some of the information.) Since...
