The Trump administration's attempts to limit voting nationally have been met with resistance from the courts and Congress. In Hawaii, voters can feel confident in the safety and security of the upcoming elections. The state's pro-voting government, Legislature, and attorney general have taken steps to secure elections, including passing vote-by-mail and developing safeguards.
Hawaii's chief election officer, Scott Nago, stated that it is unlikely the US Postal Service would comply with a recent Trump federal order restricting delivery of mail-in ballots. If the USPS were to refuse, Nago's office would explore alternative delivery methods, such as using FedEx or UPS, or opening more voter services centers.
Experts from the Brennan Center for Justice say the real danger to US elections comes from Donald Trump's attempts to undermine them. Despite these efforts, the campaign has been unsuccessful due to pushback from the courts and other elected officials.
