The people of Hawaii no longer count their votes.
The election processes in Hawaii are simply broken. We reported recently that the results of the 2024 election were unverifiable.
On August 27, 2025, the Hawai‘i State Elections Commission received a report from the Permitted Interaction Group (P.I.G.) that declared the 2024 General Election in Hawai‘i “unverifiable.” Despite a series of alarming findings—including chain-of-custody lapses, withheld records, and miscounts—more than three weeks later, there has been no public response from the Office of Elections, political parties, or elected officials.
What the P.I.G. Found
The report painted a portrait of systemic breakdowns:
- Electronic records cannot be verified. Officials withheld ballot images, reconciliation logs, and audits, releasing only summaries.
- Chain-of-custody broken statewide.
- Hawai‘i County reported 19,042 more ballots than envelopes collected.
- Kaua‘i County altered its records repeatedly, adding 3,004 USPS ballots after the fact with no signatures or explanation.
- Maui and Honolulu provided no usable collection records.
- Public misled. Election websites claimed daily reconciliation and official observation — but investigators found this did not occur.
- Unlawful certification. The Chief Elections Officer certified results without reconciling discrepancies, in direct violation of state law.
- Suppression of oversight. Complaints were buried and communications withheld under questionable claims of privilege.
The fact is that the people of Hawaii no longer count their votes.
As much as the people want to be able to verify the results of their elections, it is impossible. We’ve learned that:
There is a meeting coming up in a week that you are encouraged to attend. See information below.

Americans don’t like being cheated and lied to. We want and we deserve elections that are transparent and verifiable. We’re simple honest people who want free and fair elections, not elections performed in the dark.
