Election Day “Fiascos” Lead Hawaii to Consider All-Mail Balloting



Hawaii Reporter reports
on the testimony of State Senator Sam Slom to the State Elections Commission:


 


“I do not think this change per se will increase voter turnout but I do believe it is a recognition of how we do things technically today, and definitely could decrease costs and free up classrooms on election day. I know the 2013 Legislature will actively discuss this issue. I am concerned about possible voter fraud with all mail-in and/or electronic balloting.”


 


Legislatures in all 50 states will likely be considering changes to improve election efficiency and integrity.
