Hawaii will never start a lottery.  I laugh at people who see the (D) and think that Hawaii left and liberal because there are so many democrats in office.  The reality is that Hawaii is more conservative in nature and it's lack of true progressive thinking and mindset is the problem when it comes to things like legalizing things and giving more rights and freedoms to people.  Hawaii stands more on the socially conservative side of the intrusive limiting of rights and freedoms from citizens.
