Experts fear Hawaii’s new voter registration law heightens fraud risk
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Hawaii has the lowest voter turnout in the nation, with just 44 percent of eligible Hawaii voters taking part in the 2012 election.
Lawmakers hope a new law signed by Democrat Gov. Neil Abercrombie on Monday changes that.
Experts, however, fear the voter registration law heightens the risk for voter fraud.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The law makes it legal for voters to register to vote – and to vote – on Election Day beginning in 2018 and appropriates $100,000 to the Office of Elections for county implementation.
Abercrombie said he supports the bill because it removes barriers to voting.
