The Tribune-Herald had a article today on the Election Mess based on some 400 pages of documents acquired from a document request. By Nancy Cook-Lauer
"Two days before the Aug. 11 primary, state and county officials were aware that a “blue flu” was about to hit the Hawaii County Elections Division, resulting in the election day absence of more than half of the permanent division staff — including the top administrator."

It seems that the evidence is that County Clerk Jamae Kawauchi is not alone in culpability for the primary problems. This is as I had suspected. Jamae was nor capable alone of causing precincts to not open. I am not suggesting the County Clerk is off the hook for her contributions but the blame gets spread around by the research provided by the Tribune-Herald.
All of this is lost on Tiffany Hunt at Big Island Chronicle who played a role in the stress of the mess too. She has her own axe to grind and grinds it. Her ego was offended when the clerk did not invite her to a press conference. Tiffany's reputation either did or did not precede her. Research is not Big Island Chronicle's forte. Tiffany will print a rumor and treat it like fact if it fits her personal agenda.
Inter-relationships between the fired workers and state elections office official, "blue-flu" where election workers and volunteers abandoned their responsibilities for the purpose of causing havoc on election day left County Clerk Jamae Kawauchi holding the bag.
Considering the way Tiffany has imitated Hunter Bishop's history of hackery for Billy Kenoi it will not surprise me if Kenoi wins reelection that Tiffany dumps BIC for a paid position at the mayor's office. Will history repeat itself? Not if Billy Kenoi is smart.
Just a commentary.....

Assume the best and ask questions.
