There is a simple solution in stopping the problems that arise every election day.
This past year in Honolulu alone many precincts didn't have enough ballots. There are always concerns of long lines and not being able to make it to the polls by the time they close.
Hawai'i has more than half the voting population voting absentee by mail. Why not just convert every citizen to absentee voting by mail and avoid all the mayhem associated with election day?
There's the old theory of "KISS" (Keep it Super Simple) which applies to the concept of 100% absentee voting. Since converting to this system in Oregon it has proven overwhelmingly successful in not only time and money but in giving people time to research what their voting on. Brochures are sent with the ballots explaining all measures and platforms of those running for office. Along with being able to Google anything you may have in question with your ballot right in front of you seems to be a win win for all
Governor Abercrombie announced he will be proposing a measure in January to move our state toward 100 percent mail-in voting. Senators, Congressman and people of Hawai'i can save the state a lot of money, heartache and stress by just Keeping things super simple. Just 'KISS" everyone.
This blog also appeared in the 12-10-12 edition of the Honolulu StarAdvertiser
titled, "Mail-in voting has virtue of simplicity."

"Hey you look cute on this picture buddy"
Can someone open the link and tell me if the photo of the governor and my dog shows up on your computer? It shows on mine but some have said they can't see the photo?
"Well, the large photo that you posted is not showing but further down the page there is a smaller photo of what I see here with him and your dog."
"Small-kine picture near bottom of page shows."

what does that mean?
it means many times you respond to a question on a totally different thread, for instance if you respond to this using yesterdays blog... you didn't so that's great so far. By the way I got sick as a dog after our Mexican lunch, I think something was bad in dose fish taco's... Happy Chanukauai!
let us know if you get an answer to that question. Know anyone expert in Hebrew?
Keith stay, tuned for my blog coming later today!
