During a recent government meeting, serious allegations of election interference were raised by a participant, who claimed that a foreign national, operating under an alias, was involved in fundraising activities linked to several individuals on the call. The speaker urged the commission and the Department of Justice (DOJ) in Hawaii to assist in initiating an investigation, offering to provide evidence to support these claims.
The meeting also featured testimony from Belinda Jacobs, founder and director of the Christian Counseling and Research Centers of America. Jacobs expressed concerns regarding the integrity of the election process, referencing a previous meeting where Deputy Attorney General Yee stated he had no conflict of interest while advising the Elections Commission. Jacobs drew parallels between the situation in Hawaii and alleged misconduct in Maricopa County, Arizona, suggesting a pattern of \"unscrupulous behavior.\"
Jacobs, who has a background in computer consulting for elections, highlighted discrepancies in reported voting numbers, specifically citing instances where thousands of votes appeared to be counted before the election officially began. She criticized the lack of accountability within the commission system, arguing that it undermines public trust and democratic processes.
The discussions underscored growing tensions surrounding election integrity in Hawaii, with participants calling for greater transparency and accountability from elected officials and commissions. The meeting concluded with a call for further investigation into the allegations presented.
