UNITED NATIONS - Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon fired the top American official at the U.N. mission in Afghanistan on Wednesday after a widely publicized dispute with his boss over how to deal with widespread fraud charges in the country's presidential election.

U.N. spokeswoman Michele Montas said in a statement that Ban decided to recall Peter Galbraith and end his appointment as the U.N.'s deputy special representative.

Ghost polling stations were set up, far from where anyone could reach. There is still not an adequate recount or re-election planned. A lot of people on the ground worked to make sure the election would be fair, and, if not, reported with accuracy.
