Bill that could ban Trump from Hawaii ballot passes first test --The bill drew more than 300 pieces of negative testimony and only about 20 testimonies in favor. | 6 Feb 2024 | A proposal that would allow Donald Trump to be disqualified from the Hawaii ballot for causing an insurrection survived a close vote in a state Senate committee Tuesday. While other states have tried to block Trump because of his role in sparking the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol. Hawaii law doesn't provide for that. The measure, Senate Bill 2392, would establish a process through the chief elections officer. The bill drew more than 300 pieces of negative testimony and only about 20 testimonies in favor. The conference room was dominated by Trump supporters, who often cheered each other's testimony.
