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.
