US Supreme Court Justice Kennedy intervenes in Native Hawaiian Election

Justice Kennedy has intervened in a Native Hawaiian election concerning Native Hawaiian governmental relations. The case contesting the elections had been ruled against by the District Court and the Court of Appeals, saying it was a private group matter. Justice Kennedy has decreed that the votes can not be counted nor the results released at this time. The case is Akina v Hawaii, No. 15A551
