On Friday, a hearings officer for the Hawaii Division of Elections ruled that the We the People Party should remain on the ballot. We the People is a party formed in a few states to nominate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for president.

The Hawaii Democratic Party had challenged the existence of the party. The challenge did not claim that the party hadn’t submitted enough signatures. Instead the challenge said two of the party’s officers were ineligible because they had voted in the Democratic Party primary in 2022, and a third party officer wasn’t a registered voter. But the law doesn’t say that challenges based on such matters are allowed; the law only allows challenges to the validity of the petition.

In any event, the two party officers testified that they are not Democrats. Hawaii does not have registration by party. See this story.
