The political landscape

Hawaii's politics are shaped by tourism, military installations, land use and the cost of living across an island economy. It is among the most reliably Democratic states, with local factional politics mattering more than partisan suspense.

Its largest population centers include Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului. Where a state's people live, and what those places do for a living, is the starting point for how Electorate HQ simulations reason about it.
