On this video, this reporter stated “we don’t know” how the actual election process of counting ballots happen on the machine, although she stated she saw some of the process.
So, it’s possible that the election rigging might have still happened, especially when Havard graduated political analyst Colin Moore clearly predicted at that time, (without a doubt?), Gov. Ige’s win over Hanabusa or anyone else (since I also ran…lol), even before the votes were not even counted yet.
If I were an analyst, I wouldn’t dare to predict such outcome, especially when predictions were mixed or changed upon recent poll results.
From this, we cannot rule out that rigging might have happened on our elections (especially in the primary in 2018). At least, we have a good reason to demand the election office full disclosure of the whole election process.
Aloha.

Recently, I had discussion with one of my supporters about Gov. Ige’s alleged $1,000,000 bribery on Korean community during 2018 election time when I also ran.
The motion to dismiss that was brought by Gov. Ige to my State Supreme Court complaint was wrongfully (I believe and/or even intellectually considered) decided by the court, although the court decision even stated my evidence should be weighed more than Gov Ige’s, per law.
Is news report be considered a rumor, even if Gov. Ige physically appeared on the news event?
Yes, it is possible that the report can be a fake, but it should be considered as an enough evidence to pass the initial stage of pretrial screening that was intended for e.g. frivolous law suit.
At the complaint, Gov Ige admitted he gave the money to Korean community, but allegedly claimed it was a grant money.
Then, the court should have ordered Gov Ige to provide such documents, instead closing the case with a rumor allegation on the news report, even without willing to investigate on the claim. (There was clearly a triable issue, although and even if the burden of proof was on me.)
Sad that not even one journalist speak up about this until now.
Regardless, I guess only Gov. Ige feared my candidacy at that time…lol.
Note: I again invite any journalist or lawyer for intellectual discussion on this matter.
Aloha.

People may wonder what entails Media Reform; if they have determined to do better job for people of Hawaii or not.
Personally, (at a personal level), I would consider they are doing better job; among other things,
1. If they publicly announce that they are sorry they did not cover my candidacy as Governor.
2. If they apologize Hawaii people that they did not report about my court actions regarding the prior election; among others,
A. My complaint about the chief election officer, Scott Nago, that he (allegedly) did not do the correct job, esp. about Ms. Hanabusa’s (alleged) disqualification as a Governor candidate, since she violated the State mandate, Article II, section 7, “resign to run”.
B. If Governor Ige (allegedly) illegally donated 1 million dollars to Korean community or not.
C. If the Hawaii Court(s) did the correct job on my complaint(s) or not.
(Among others, simply, the Court denied one suit, stating I made the complaint, allegedly, based on a rumor.
My position was the motion brought by Gov. Ige should have been denied since there have been e.g. a competing evidence that, I claimed, the 1 million dollars were a bribe, and by law, he should have provided the corresponding documents if they were government grant money.)
D. If the Hawaii Court decided correctly about my motion to stay of the election due to my (alleged) complaint(s) or not.
Note: Fyi, Media did not report ANY of those, but also not covered my candidacy at all. (Perhaps, to them, they were the news that are not important to Hawaii people???…lol.)
(If any, I also invite any lawyers to join the discussion here about the above cases.)

We should rate all the media and journalists, (just like health dept rating on restaurants), and make the rating very visible in front of their papers (logos) and articles; but guaranteeing and promoting their freedom of press…!
Because, the readers and public also have the right to know the truth about them (like their conflict of interests, history of reporting fake news, etc).
But, if they need help, then, e.g. we allocate the government money according to their rating, circulations, etc.
Media Reform! Hawaii Reform! America Reform!
