7. I went to the one in Kaimuki/Kahala. It is a stupid system and was a wreck.

the sanders guy went around ripping down hillary signs (but not sanders signs) and was told to stop by the guy running the event. the limited time to vote was a mess. There was ton of "new" registrations but no checking ID to see if they were who they claimed. no cross checking possible to see if they were also registered as repubs.

The time of day and limited one hour vote period meant that many people would not be able to vote even if they wanted to (work, kids. etc)

Although the times were clearly mentioned in all media and promotion people still showed up 2 hours later and threw fits because they were not allowed to vote.

no matter who you supported it was not a well run thing.

It should be like a regular election event with a longer time period, a check in table like the regular election, and voting .
The whole schedule was to accomdate having precinct meetings afterwards I think and that should be a seperate event.
