League of Women Voters Weighs in on Big Island Election Snafus
"The Hawaii State League of Women Voters (LWVHI) is asking state and county elections officials to take definitive action on the primary election day mishaps that transpired on the Big Island."
This morning, the Presidential Commission on Election Administration will present their report to the Senate Rules and Administration Committee. We urged consideration of a 5-point reform agenda.
“There are many good recommendations in this report and others that we will need to look at more closely to examine the real impact on American voters,” said League President Elisabeth MacNamara.
"Public outrage is on the rise after more information about the Office of Elections management failures on General Election Day is documented. Hundreds of people at 24 precincts around Oahu waited as long as three hours to vote because of ballot shortages. In some cases, people left without voting because they could not wait."
