"Hawaiian Citizenry(1890 Census)
Hawaiian Subjects- 48,107(Includes Kanaka Maoli and other ethnicity's that were citizens of the Kingdom)
Hawaii's Population in 1950
498,000
Most of the people in Hawaii at the time of the statehood vote were not Hawaiian Nationals. So really the US voted for statehood, not the nation of Hawaii."
According to wiki: Out of a total population of 600,000 in the islands and 155,000 registered voters, 140,000 votes were cast, the highest turnout ever in Hawaii. The vote showed approval rates of at least 93% by voters on all major islands (see adjacent figure for details). Of the approximately 140,000 votes cast, fewer than 8000 rejected the Admission Act of 1959.
8,000 is roughly 16% of 48,107
