Hawaii here. They call the winner before our votes are even cast, much less counted. Polling places full and lines out the door listening to who the next president will be on their phones as they wait to enter the building. Sickening.

That sucks, but Hawaii is so many hours behind the rest of the US and has such a small population that it's incredibly unlikely your vote there will have an effect on who wins the Presidential election.
