In many cases it applies to those who can't legally vote.....i.e. non state residents...harkens back to the revolutionary days....."Taxation without representation". At a minimum, if a person pays property taxes in Hawaii, they should be able to at least vote in state elections......I fully understand not being able to vote in federal elections in more than one state......but if I have skin in the game, i.e. Property Taxes, I should be able to vote for state reps that have my best interests representated.
