Help Bring Election Integrity To HAWAII! 

WHY THIS MATTERS:

More than one year after the 2024 General Election, a ballot discrepancy exceeding 19,000 ballots in Hawaiʻi County (Big Island) remains unaudited, unresolved, and unexplained.

​

The Chief Elections Officer (CEO), Scott Nago, has failed for over a year to perform the most basic and legally required duty of election administration: a full accounting and audit of ballots. Despite repeated requests, public testimony, and Elections Commission review, the ballots have not been properly reconciled.

​

This failure now threatens public confidence heading into the 2026 Governor’s race.

<< KEY ISSUES FOR MEDIA ATTENTION >>

• Over 19,000 ballots remain unaccounted for in Hawaiʻi County from the 2024 General Election.

• Chief Elections Officer Scott Nago has refused to conduct a full audit of these ballots for more than a year.

• Mr. Nago certified the election results on November 20, 2024, five days before the deadline to contest the election (which it was by Commissioner Ralph Cushnie and others), effectively cutting off meaningful legal remedy.

• Privileged Investigation Groups (PIGs) formed by the Elections Commission CONFIRMED discrepancies exist and concluded the CEO failed to carry out required duties.

• USPS could NOT produce documentation accounting for all mail-in ballots in Hawaiʻi County — raising serious questions about ballot origin and handling.

• BallotTrax only confirms receipt, not rejection, duplication, or accurate tabulation.

​

CURIOUS ABSENCE OF DISCREPANCIES ON OʻAHU AND MAUI

No discrepancies were officially “found” on Oʻahu or Maui — not because elections were proven secure, but because there is no documented chain of custody available to verify ballots on those islands.

​

Oʻahu and Maui are Hawaiʻi’s most densely populated islands.

​

If chain-of-custody records existed, how many additional discrepancies would be discovered?
Without documentation, there is no way to know.

​

WHAT THE COMMISSION MUST DO

• Hold the Chief Elections Officer accountable for failure to audit and reconcile ballots (Not doing his job).

• Remove and replace the CEO, with a qualified, independent Chief Elections Officer committed to transparency and compliance with the law.

• Hire a new CEO immediately, so unresolved failures do not carry into the 2026 gubernatorial election.

• Require documented chain of custody, reconciliation reports, and independent audits statewide.

Secure elections by requiring documentation, audits, and accountability — NOT blind trust.

 

ON THE RECORD...

Video recordings from prior Elections Commission meetings document Commissioners raising concerns, including:
