In 2024 maybe 10,000 people voted in person at Honolulu Hale. People waited in line almost 3 hours to cast their votes. Only 10,000 votes out of 300k. And it was a headline making mess. We don’t have the infrastructure for in person voting, because that’s not how voting is set up to work here. Why are you lying to people about this? Its practically and physically impossible, and deeply irresponsible to tell people to not vote the way our election system is set up to work. We vote by mail in Honolulu. Use the system as intended. Put your ballot in the mail.

Per your article: State Rep. Darius Kila, a Democrat who represents a district on Oahu’s Westside, said many of his constituents were unaware of the voting service centers that provided early voting. So like I said… GO. VOTE. EARLY. How is that misinformation? I never said dont go vote. There is no main way you HAVE to vote. You have options. Ive laid out the other avenues. BALLOT DROP BOXES. VOTER SERVICE CENTERS. USPS. (This is where Trump is trying to make sure your ballot doesnt count) If you dont utilize those options, and wait until the last day to vote, you have chosen to wait in line to vote. You are misinformed. You are hurting yourself and your community if you are the one causing lines to stay long and disencouraging others to vote because they dont want to wait in a line with you. Do your part. Vote early so you dont make the line longer on Election Day. Dont wait until Nov 3rd to cast your ballot.
