Thread:Comments:Alassane Ouattara 'wins' Ivory Coast presidental election/Who to believe?

Its seems that the conflicting election results are going to cause more unrest in the Ivory Coast. Each side's vote counters/observers will insist that they have the correct results, but who to believe? Is one side more believable than the other? Should such a significant election be decided by outsiders' declarations of an acceptable amount of voter fraud? It is disturbing that the benefit of the doubt in the western press always goes to the UN or outside voting monitors.
