HAWAII Reporter - 15,000 Non Resident Military Go Unrepresented in Any State Elections Because of Redistricting Controversy, No 30, 2011

"BY MALIA ZIMMERMAN - 15,000 - that is the number of non resident members of the United States military who are not represented in any state anywhere in the country in state elections.
That is a point of contention among the 9-member State Reapportionment Commission, which is charged with redrawing state lines for Hawaii's 51 House districts, 25 Senate districts and 2 congressional districts based the U.S. Census 2010 population count in time for the 2012 primary and general elections.
It also is the subject of a lawsuit filed in October by Big Island Democrats, Sen. Malama Solomon, Hawaii County Democratic Party Chairman Steve Pavao and party committee members Louis Hao and Patti Cook, who want even more non resident military members and their dependents removed from Hawaii's population count so they can gain a fourth Senate seat."
