Quick explanation: as I believe I have previous stated, Malawians are unable to differentiate between 'L' and 'R.' What they say (and therefore spell) depends solely on the vowel it comes after, so "Fletcher" becomes "Fretcher, "Parr" is "Paul," "chlorophyll" shows up on the national exams as "chrolophyl," and "election" turns into "erection."
Well, May 20th is the day selected for Malawians to exercise their rights in a democracy and vote for there new president, parliament, and councilors.
I walked over to see the local polling station, and chat with the poll workers (they're all teachers, so I know them already). As of the afternoon, everything was going well in Thunduti.
