2016 United States presidential election in Hawaii

The 2016 United States presidential election in Hawaii was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states and the District of Columbia participated. Hawaii voters chose four electors to represent the state in the Electoral College by popular vote. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, defeated New York businessman Donald Trump and his running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, by 32 percentage points. Clinton carried Hawaii with 62 % of the vote — her highest share in any state — though her margin was substantially smaller than Barack Obama's 70 % in 2012. Trump received 30 % of the vote, an improvement of about 2 points over Mitt Romney's 2012 performance. Hawaii was one of only two states — the other being Massachusetts — in which Clinton carried every county. The state also produced Green Party nominee Jill Stein's strongest result of any state, at 2 %. Exit polling reported by Honolulu Civil Beat indicated that Clinton dominated among Hawaii's large Asian American electorate, while Trump performed comparatively better with white voters, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, and households with a connection to the U . military. Although all four of Hawaii's electors had pledged to support the Clinton–Kaine ticket, one faithless elector, Honolulu activist David Mulinix, cast his presidential ballot for Bernie Sanders and his vice-presidential ballot for Elizabeth Warren. The remaining three electors voted as pledged.
