Question presented

1 QUESTION If this honorable US Supreme Court determines Elections Office of Hawaii (EOH) failed to follow State Rules and Regulations and due process, e.g. failure of or no certification on voting machine test, and Supreme Court of Hawaii (SCH) abused its discretion in this case, should States like Hawaii, who has own rules and regulations in such election process, now adopt or be required to have Federal Rules and Regulations, instead?
