Some time ago, the Democratic Party of Hawaii mailed out a party presidential ballot with 10 candidates, plus “uncommitted.” It’s an historic relic now.
The only candidate on the ballot still in the race — besides “uncommitted” — is former Vice President Joe Biden. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who won 70% of the Hawaii vote in 2016, dropped out on Wednesday.
Time to move on.
