Interesting developments in Hawaii.  I had suggested that Justice Kennedy’s order stopping (at least for now) the counting of votes in a Native Hawaiian election could deter some people from voting. Well it seems the people running the election agreed and, according to AP, have extended the voting:

The organization guiding a Native Hawaiian election is extending voting by three weeks after a U.S. Supreme Court justice temporarily blocked vote counting.

Nai Aupuni says voting is extended to Dec. 21 because voters may not have cast ballots over concerns and questions about Justice Anthony Kennedy’s order.

I wonder now if there will be a new dispute over the voting extension.

(More at Hawaii News Now.) There’s no notation on the Supreme Court docket of any official notification to the Court of this extension. But the docket is not always updated promptly and it is possible notice was given to Justice Kennedy via the clerk more informally.

Stay tuned.
