Letter: Dem rule a contributor to isle low voter turnout
Sep 30, 2024
For years, Hawaii’s voter turnout rates have been among the lowest in the country. Since 1998, voter turnout has been above 50% only twice (50.0% in 1998 and 51.2% in 2020), ranking Hawaii as one of the states with the lowest voter turnout in the country. A healthy democracy depends on high voter participation, which reflects the will of the people. Hawaii is not a democracy. It’s a one-party state totally owned and operated by the Democrats for decades. Term limits, election reform, ethics reform and mail-in-ballots are just rearranging chairs on the deck of the Titanic.
