Non-Citizens Voting In Hawaii

Hawaii has had Democratic governors since 1962, and near one party control of its legislature for most of that time. As one would expect when one party is unchallenged for so long, the Democrats became corrupt and arrogant, and began to cut corners to hang on to power.

In 1998, the Republican mayor of Maui, Linda Lingle*, ran for governor and came very close to winning. In 2002, she won and is now trying to institute reforms there. John Fund's chapter on Hawaii, "Tropical Tammany", in his book, Stealing Elections, persuades me that Lingle may have won in 1998, too.
