6. Not unless they change registration at the caucus site...

OH...you were trying to be SNARKY!

Silly me.

It's percentages, not numbers, in those caucus environments anyway.

:eyes: indeed.

My caucus site in Palolo, 1st Congressional district, ran out of ballots. There were more than 1200 people there.

And when I left, I thought my site was bad - Manoa was even WORSE. Read this article.

A lot of places in Hawaii ran out of ballots. Some people ended up voting on blank sheets of paper.

I say no way does the voting finish at 7:30 PM HST. Maybe around 9:00 PM.

8. Some Hawaiians are voting on little paper umbrellas!

Some on coconuts!

Some on the shells of king crabs!

You know, whatever's lying around over there...

:rofl:
