Ahia v. Lee
Annotate this Case
In this election contest, the Supreme Court entered judgment in favor of Defendants and against Plaintiffs as to all claims stated in the complaint, holding that Plaintiffs failed to establish a viable election challenge that would "cause a difference in the election results."
The election result contested in this case was for the office of council member for the Wailuku-Waihe'e-Waikapu seat on the Maui County Council. On November 22, 2022, the final result was reported that Alice Lee received the most votes, with Nolan Ahia receiving 513 fewer votes. Plaintiffs, Ahia and thirty voters who resided within the election district, brought this complaint challenging the election result. The Supreme Court ordered that Lee received a majority of the votes cast and had been elected to the seat of the Wailuku-Waihe'e-Waikapu councilmember, holding that Plaintiffs' claims were unavailing.
