I would strongly think otherwise. It doesn't say that a Hawaii citizen must present the evidence, and there are certainly plenty of people in this country crazy enough to do so despite the fact that one vote in HI means literally nothing to this election.

The presidential election, anyway.
However, our ballots also contained heated races for mayor, the rail issue, and whether we need another Con Con.
Her vote may mean nothing to you, but it does for me and my family.

But dead votes only count in Chicago.
I don't have a problem with counting one extra vote that isn't a legal vote in a massively Dem state, but don't announce on the news that you're ignoring your election laws forchristssake, that's my only point.

Sure. And my sympathy goes out to Obama. But I don't think the only way to respect her is to break your own election laws. And hell, even if you're going to do it because it seems like the right thing to do (which I agree it does), don't announce it on TV. Because it is possible to respect her memory and the sanctity of your state's election laws at the same time.
And like I said earlier:
Again, it doesn't matter and I don't really care because HI isn't going to swing anyways, but what's the point in having election laws if you can ignore them at will? Following election laws tends to be something Democrats get real excited about (and it's a good thing to care about), but you can't selectively enforce them just because it's a sob story.

Not too good. It apparently got dirty when I was having to wade through all your bullshit. 
The only point I'm trying to make is that HI law says her vote doesn't count and it seems to be foolish that their elections chief got on TV and said it does. Nothing beyond that, no political point, no insult to anyone (other than that elections official). Not entirely sure why you're so upset by that.

I'm with you on this.
If the law were different, it wouldn't bother me. If the election official had simply declined comment, I wouldn't have given it any more thought. But I wouldn't expect that you could come out and say in this case we're going to violate the laws of Hawaii, and then expect to retain the public trust, especially if any elections ever have unexpected outcomes. The official is undermining his or her own system.
