Super PACs to Muddy the Waters in Hawaii County Elections

These political action committees last filed finance reports with the state Campaign Spending Commission in August, which shed some light on who contributed the hundreds of thousands of dollars they spent before the primary election and how those funds were used.

 

But their next reports aren't due until Oct. 27, just eight days before the Nov. 4 general election. That's two weeks after absentee ballots are mailed out and a week after early walk-in voting begins.

 

So for the two most critical months in the election, voters are being bombarded with information trying to convince them to feel a certain way about a candidate or issue without being given a close look at the accounting — not to mention motivations — behind it.
