Also note in today&#8217;s featured article that at the end election day all memory cards are taken to the Maui County central location and given directly to an employee of Hart Intercivic. This employee, not election officials, then downloads the information from the cards to a laptop and then sends those votes over the internet to Honolulu. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Featured Article &#8211;
