Watching the coverage, our governor went on and on about how the senator(that gets elected) needs to support what Obummer wants to do and this and that...  Made me ill, I had to turn it off..
Looks as if the status quo will remain unchanged in this state and city.  Not surprised, but again disappointed. 

Maybe the general will produce some results in which I can feel better about the direction of Hawaii.

Been trying to get my friends to vote and somehow he forgot to vote yesterday. If he missed primary can he still vote in Oct or Nov for regular elections? I know he got the email form that he's registered to vote. Anyone know?


And yes I went out to vote. Glad I didn't have any major lines or delays of game.

I believe so.  If you register as a permanent absentee, they mail the ballot direct to your house.  No problems with traffic, lines, or have to take off from work to do your civic duty.

If anyone here on 2A didn't register to vote yet, the deadline for the 2012 General Election Voter Registration is
 October 8, 2012.

IF ANYONE THINKS VOTING DOESN'T MATTER, THEY ARE WRONG.  THE IMPORTANCE OF  PARTICIPATING IN AN ELECTION HAS BEEN DOWN PLAYED AND BRAINWASHED INTO THE MINDS OF THE YOUTH AS A WASTE OF TIME. 

This is YOUR government, they work for YOU, and if you don't like what is going on, then it is YOUR responsibility to FIRE their azz and put someone else in the office that will work for YOU and not for their own self interests.

Remember, YOU ARE GOVERNMENT, they are not your rulers, they are your employees, if your employees F-up then fire em and get someone better.

Looking at the numbers, only 290k voted out of 687k registered.  That means for a population of 1.3 million, about 22% of Hawaii's population is determining the future of Hawaii government for everyone.

Where are the other 78%?  Granted that some of these are minors and others are non-citizens but still... Every vote counts!

+1.

Only 40% of registered voters have been counted as voting before the last 20 precincts were counted.  Sad . . .

I asked my wife if she was coming with me when I was leaving "to perform my civic duty."  Her response was why.  I told that she needs to vote if she did not want to pay taxes for the rest of our lives to support the rail.  She voted!

AMEN !!!   

Last year's voter turn out was the lowest in history with something like 35% of registered voters actually voting. This year I believe it was about 40%....Sad!

Don't feel like voting?  That's cool, me and my friends will just decide your future for you.

I fully intended on voting...situation just didn't work out

I highly recommend early walk-in voting at Honolulu or Kapolei Hale.  That way, you won't have to worry about any unexpected things messing up voting plans on a Saturday. Besides, I don't like anything getting in the way of weekend range time.

I've been voting absentee balloting for years and now with the permanent absentee balloting I don't have to register anymore unless I change my address. Now I just have to remember to send the ballot in;D

I had the Hunter Ed class on Saturday, walked home and got to the polls at 5:45.  Turns out I have to go to a new place than where I've always gone to. It's entirely my fault and I feel pretty bad about it.

Permanent absentee in the future man, it's pretty cool.

+1 for that G. Absentee all the way. Vote in your home at your convenience. No lines, no hassle.

We have all the forms as X-Ring!

Finally convinced another friend to get out and vote.  Is it to late to register to vote though?

Too late.  First week oct forms had to be in.

Yeah I just called the voting official people. Looks like he blew it!!!
Guess he has to wait 4 more years and live with everyone else voting for him.
