5 Kēkēmapa 2022

Today, I am announcing that I will be running for the open Subregional Senate seat in what the imperialist government, according to their arbitrary line-drawing, calls the "Pacific" Subregion of the Atlasian Empire. As a proud member o ka Hui Liliʻuokalani, I will focus my campaign on the full and immediate restoration of the recognition of the independence of the Hawaiian nation-state and the unending, never-surrendered sovereignty kō Hawaiʻi Pae ʻĀina. My platform is one of national liberation for nā Kānaka Maoli and the ending of all forms of oppression: imperialism, capitalism, racism, sexism, classism, queerphobia, cultural oppression, religious oppression and all other forms of exploitation. We must replace hatred and bigotry with universal aloha.

The fact that I am the only declared candidate for this race is a damning condemnation of the failure of the Atlasian political system to work for the people of not only Hawaiʻi but even its own jurisdiction. One hundred and thirty years ago, our ʻāina was invaded by Americans who overthrew the legitimate and sovereign government led by Mōʻīwahine Liliʻuokalani. Today, their Atlasian descendants still maintain a political and economic stranglehold over our Islands and our people. Hawaiʻi deserves better than the dysfunctional imperialist cabal in Nyman who have never worked for us--nor, in truth, anyone other than themselves. We deserve a government which is actually of, by and for the Hawaiian people.

With your support, that is what I will fight for in this election and beyond. Mahalo nui a kākou.

UA MAU KE EA O KA ʻĀINA I KA PONO: E ʻONIPAʻA KĀKOU!

endorsed hope you win

The exclusion of my name from the official ballot by the Atlasian-Frémontian imperialist state is perhaps not unexpected but nevertheless an unforgivable assault on the democratic rights of the people of Hawaiʻi and all ka Pākīpika. It amounts to a silencing of the political opposition to the imperialist regime in Denver and Nyman, in the tradition of the fascist FM Harry S Truman's declaration of martial law in response to the forming of Hui Liliʻuokalani in ʻApelila.

This latest slap in the face to nā Kānaka Maoli kō Pae Hawaiʻi ʻĀina only underscores what Hui Liliʻuokalani, and by extension the long line of poʻe aloha ʻāina who have come before us, have been saying all along: the imperialists in Nyman and Denver do not and cannot represent our best interests; indeed, they are actively fighting against us and the realization of our political and human rights to self-determination, sovereignty and democracy. But, like our Mōʻīwahine Liliʻuokalani and the many kūpuna who have given their lives for the national liberation of Hawaiʻi, we will remain ʻonipaʻa always. The fight continues whether we are included on the imperialist ballot or not.

UA MAU KE EA O KA ʻĀINA I KA PONO:
E ʻONIPAʻA KĀKOU!

FTR your votes are usually invalid because they're not in English and the declaration you posted in the thread wasn't in English, so I dismissed it.

It's not fair to expect elections administrators to decipher your ballots or declarations.

4. You are permitted to write your ballot in a language other than English, provided you use only Latin characters (A, B, C, ...) and Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, ...) to spell out the names of candidates for office and list all candidates or options that appear on this official sample ballot.

iii. If the section of the ballot in question calls for the voter to vote from a pool of one or more candidates, the names of each candidate must be written out using Latin characters, Arabic numerals, and/or any other characters present within the candidates’ names.

At-Large wise, a Fremont provision is irrelevant.
As for the Fremont Elections, read this of the very thing you posted:

iii. If the section of the ballot in question calls for the voter to vote from a pool of one or more candidates, the names of each candidate must be written out using Latin characters, Arabic numerals, and/or any other characters present within the candidates’ names.

Your Fremont ballot - and your declaration - contains numerous characters that are neither latin nor arabic.
That being said, the section of your Fremont ballot that votes for you is intelligible enough where it should be counted as valid. However, it does not affect the results of that election.

My ballots contain non-Latin and non-Arabic characters for the parties/states/ballot instructions, but that doesn't matter. The only prohibition is using those characters in the names of each candidate, which I did not do and have never done.
