Obviously not possible, 75% of the population of Hawaii was born in Hawaii, in 1959.
You asked us to check the stats so I did. Don't ignore - retract.
I think I need to explain that I'm coming from the view point that the Annexation was not legal and never truly happened. It continues to be an occupation. So anyone who came here afterward is not a citizen and should not be allowed to vote on issues involving Hawaii.
I'm not saying they were purposely brought there to skew the vote, but they did. As you can see after the "annexation" the population exploded with American immigrants.
Most of the time if you are born in a country you can claim it as your nationality but when a country is under occupation the rules are much different. So whether they were born here or not is irrelevant. All that matters is if they or their ancestors were Hawaiian Nationals.
