Obama won Hawaii by 45%, yet he lost the island of Niihau

[Hawaii Hiker]

But there were only 39 votes there, :woohoo:

Niihau is a privately owned island about 17 miles NW of Kauai...Only native Hawaiians live there, think of it as a west coast Amish town...

"In 2008, Niihau's precinct was one of only 3 of Hawaii's 538 precincts to vote for John McCain over Barack Obama. McCain received 35 votes, Obama received 4, and Cynthia McKinney received 1. Hawaii was Obama's strongest state in the nation, with only Washington, D.C. voting more strongly for him".<20>
