Tang - OK, because it sounded like you were saying you think he's too old when you said, "Surely we have enough younger workers to better fulfill this one job?"
So this thread is about the challenges of a super-aged population in Hawaii and whether there are enough younger workers to fill the jobs needed as people age out. Some of those jobs include political ones, like Ed Case's.
Tang - Oh boy, The Yakster gets very excited when folks say "they".
Guilty as charged - big fan of pronouns and their proper use. As those super-aged socialist hippies like to say "I am he (John 18:6), as you are he, as you are me, and we are all together." (John/Paul 1967:11-24) He, she, they, them - whatever gets you through the night, it's all right.
randomq - make it cheaper and easier to get an ID, and then require an ID.
In a country with a history of using poll taxes (including here in Hawaii), sometimes as a selective barrier to voting, any required fee that restricts people from casting a vote is both undemocratic and possibly unconstitutional (per the 24th Amendment for those that still care about such things).
Every state has a free process for registering to vote, and research has shown that votes cast by ineligible voters are exceedingly rare, so this ID requirement is a supposed fix prompted by trying to appease unsupported paranoid delusions (like the tampered voting machines, and bamboo paper ballots, and on and on, without end).
As Edge said "the fraudulent voter is a boogie man for conservative tv horror news. Scary, but if you check the statistics in the closet or under the bed there’s nothing there." But what if the boogie man is invisible? Or able to shape shift into a gecko? Or made entirely of shrimp and able to carve amazing pieces of art to hide behind?
All the while ignoring very real, sworn under oath, primary evidence of the residence of an illegal voter - Tulsi, Tulsi, Tulsi! Talk about cursed idols... (sorry, struggling to find Hawaii references for the super-aged ;)
