Hawaii’s mail-in voting system works and is here to stay. That message was from several state lawmakers, after the election commission voted to get rid of it, citing a lack of integrity.
There is no mass voter fraud in the state.” Democrat commissioners and elections officials said there’s no merit to the claims of discrepancies in mail-in voting.
The state elections commission has voted to ask the legislature to ban mail-in and early voting and return to traditional in-person voting on Election Day.
The state Elections Commission has asked the Legislature to revert to in-person, same-day voting. But experts say voting by mail is safe and popular.
The state Campaign Spending Commission is working on a public funding bill this year to incentivize more candidates to request funding.
The state Legislature will be asked to ban wildly popular mail-in voting and return to one-day, in-person voting as a majority of Hawaii Elections Commission members continue to echo election doubts repeated by President Donald Trump and his MAGA supporters since his 2020 reelection defeat.
As if Hawaii needs another injection of unnecessary voting confusion and doubt, the state’s Election Commission has proposed the Legislature end mail-in balloting. It’s a bad idea, and must be denied.
