Election results are pretty pathetic (less than 40% voter turnout)

This also pretty much confirms that we know that there won't be a 3rd party.  Hawaii elections will be more of the same.

As for Djou, he needed 50%+1 to win outright.  General election doesn't look good for Djou.

:(

If Hawaii did not require party line voting he would of won.

sadly looking at the numbers... Unless there is some kind of huge revolution in turnout in the general....... Looks like nothing much will change here in Hawaii.... :'(
Frustrating but true. Even with how easy they're making it for more to vote, still turnout is pathetic.

Don't know what it is.
People are getting killed to vote in other countries and service members were killed supporting it.
Complacency. Lack of education.
I asked an old friend if he votes. "Nah no more time - unless it affects my paycheck - maybe" Then he laughed it off and asked if I was a Republican (I don't think he knew what it was).
Disappointing. :grrr:

Rights in general are not very important from my interactions with friends, co workers. They wouldn't hesitate to open their doors to a "govt. official" to inspect their homes for whatever reason. Their justification is that they have nothing to hide then turn the question to me and ask If I have something to hide? They don't understand or are so complacent with a 9-5 M-F and kids soccer games on the weekends.
