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.
