I'd like to add on to this. Were the Hawaiian people disenfranchised in this vote too?
Forgive this question but, as a non-American, I have to ask what you mean by "Asian-majority"? As far as I know the main demographic would have been Pacific Islander (Polynesian), are they considered to be "Asian"? Or was there a large presence of East Asian peoples (what most Americans mean when they say "Asian") at that time?
