Special Guest, Ralph Cushnie

I’m joined by my friend Ralph Cushnie, a dedicated election commissioner fighting for integrity in Hawaii. Ralph made headlines when he was forcibly removed from his own commission meeting after calling for transparency. Ralph became involved in election oversight in 2022 after discovering irregularities in ballot counts during the 2020 election. Driven by a deep sense of civic duty, he was appointed to the Hawaii State Election Commission in January 2024. His time on the commission made headlines in December 2024 when he was forcibly removed from a meeting by law enforcement after making a motion to subpoena chain of custody records from local counties. Ralph remains an advocate for election transparency and accountability.
