## Resource

A chaotic Honolulu election unfolds as Tommy Waters remains on the ballot despite a court ruling declaring him ineligible — leaving thousands of voters confused and frustrated. With ballots already cast, there’s no recourse for voters who chose Waters, sparking outrage and calls for better planning from election officials. Critics like Camron Hurt argue this was foreseeable and that leaders failed to prepare a backup plan. Meanwhile, Waters plans to appeal, but time is running out as voters demand clarity on whether their votes still count — and whether the system can deliver answers before election day.
