Dr. David Wurfel Reports on Vietnam, September 21, 1967

Wurfel has recently returned from South Vietnam where he was an election observer. In his report, he writes that he found the election to be flawed, with major candidates unfairly excluded, widespread censorship, and intimidation. He reported that fraud on election day was extensive, including fake votes, ballot stuffing, and manipulation of results, which made the government seem illegitimate to many Vietnamese.
