Also they say the poll was not inclusive because no one they know was polled.
I’m not sure I know anyone who has taken part in any poll. By the protestor’s logic, does that mean all polls are wrong? Protestors have no poll, no statistics, no headcount, no nothing that gives any indication whatsoever that a majority of Native Hawaiians oppose the TMT. A few thousand campers on Mauna Kea Access Road? Barely a blip in the total population. 70, or 100 people participating in a convoy on Oahu? A drop in the ocean.
Another point I've been reading is that only native Hawaiians should have a say regarding TMT... We can't have a race based referendum to decide this issue because...well that would be racist.
There is as far as I know, no method currently in place for a Native Hawaiian election. Would they need a blood test to vote? 25%, 50%, 100% Native Hawaiian bloodline to qualify? Would they need to bring results of a certified, notarized blood test to the polling station? Would requiring that information violate HIPA regulations?
