The @acluhawaii was a major advocate in pushing these bills forward, & I imagine they're sure to push for them again.
I actually wrote on Hawaii in March, when Dems buried the legislation to abolish disenfranchisement after it passed one committee. appealpolitics.org/2019/hawaii-pr…

When we think about the spaces that Democrats and/or progressives have to push for reform, we usually think of the (few) states that have Democratic trifectas. This is a reminder that even low-hanging fruits like those 2 bills Ige vetoed can be tough, tough sells in those spaces.
