Mostly because what you are saying doesn't make sense to me.
You are saying only Hawaii nationals should have a say, ok, but then you quote 48,000 in 1890, 70 years before the vote took place. In those 70 years the 48,000 would have had children and their children children and their children's children's children. That 48,000 in 1890 could easily been 200k+ in 1959.
Unless you are trying to say that only those who were over 70 and born in Hawaii should have gotten to vote on statehood in 1959.
Does that also mean if you were born in hawaii in 1891 you are not a hawaii national, nor their children, nor their children's children.
The other thing, the sovereignty movement and all order Hawaii movements don't refer to Hawaii Nationals but Kanaka Maoli, which unless I am mistake is all about race.
Even if we go by your numbers of 200k its still not even half the population. But usually in 50 years the population won't be 10 times higher, it's usually around 2 times, unless there is a massive immigration.
