Presbyterian quoted on election

Inquirer.net ran a story about the Philippines election in which observers were interviewed.

Presbyterian Matt Lang is quoted in the story:

"American Matthew Robert Lang, a Presbyterian clergyman who went to Surigao del Norte province, said party watchers were practically running the precincts he visited.

Lang said his group had secured an affidavit from a voter who was taken against his will to a barangay office and had ink smeared on his finger even if he had yet to vote."

In an email about the article, Matt notes that it is good article but the headline is misleading. He states: "Please note that we never said the polls were a success."
