**The 400K-430K turnout bin leads at 32.6% largely because the 2022 gubernatorial general election produced roughly 413,000 total votes in a comparable non-presidential cycle.** Incumbent Democrat Josh Green faces Republican Gary Cordery in a race rated Solid Democratic by multiple forecasters, limiting broad voter mobilization. The August 2026 primary drew about 280,000 ballots at roughly 33% turnout, consistent with Hawaii’s historically modest midterm participation rates. Recent developments, including a Supreme Court matter over Elections Commission operations and the start of early voting and mail ballot distribution in mid-October, have not yet generated measurable enthusiasm spikes. Traders appear to weigh the 2022 baseline against the risk of depressed participation in an uncompetitive contest, keeping the adjacent 370K-400K bin at 22% as the main alternative.
