    It doesn’t take effect until 2027. So they have plenty of time to overturn it and keep cheating for the midterm elections.

      I think the reason for it is if they had it take effect now it would be appealed to USSC and then stayed anyway.

        Yeah. Makes sense. Still, should make the change effective immediately.

        This is the equivalent of “we’re going to fix the problem next time”

        It’ll never be enforced, and the Hawaii Democrats know it. I guarantee you that before the year is out the USSC will rull from the shadow docket that this is unconstitutional. Like, what type of federal government do you think is in power right now?
