MR. ISHIDA: Yes, that ' s how you ' re thinking but <br /> what bothers me then is. . . <br /> MR. OMONAKA: The body is too small to carry it <br /> out. <br /> MR. SENSANO: Mr. Chairman. When you go down to <br /> the six that are voting for the three options. Now, when you <br /> compare the results, I don ' t think you should. . .say, we take <br /> three as the winner, I don ' t think you should add two and <br /> one, you know, I think you should compare three and two only. <br /> For those people who have voted for option #2, they were <br /> looking at two options, actually, you cannot add two and one <br /> and compare it with three. <br /> MR. CADINHA: Come again, Herman , on that. <br /> MR. ISHIDA: Can you explain that again? <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: Herman, do you want to pick up <br /> this mike? <br /> (Mr. Sensano explained the following at the chalkboard. ) <br /> MR. SENSANO: Now, there are three options and to me <br /> when I vote, I 'm not thinking of the three, I',.m only thinking <br /> of two. So, therefore, if my vote comes. . .I mean , if these <br /> people who vote here. . .now, if this is the highest number among <br /> the three. So, when we compare this, we don ' t add two and one <br /> and compare it with three. You only compare it with one and <br /> three and two. That ' s the way I think. And, another thing is <br /> six and four is 100% of the voters. After you have taken the <br /> majority, you don ' t apply the same percentage to this. This <br /> becomes a hundred percent itself. That ' s the way I think. <br /> You no longer include the four in the 100% in selecting one of <br /> the options. <br /> MR. ISHIDA: The only thing that bothers me with that <br /> is you are effectively taking where had you put four options <br /> together, then the present system would have won. <br /> MR. ODA: I think you can have as many opinions on <br /> this one as you have options. <br /> MR. ISHIDA: Yes , I agree. <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: But I think , Stuart, the Revised <br /> Statutes m . . .'ydu have just read it, 50-11. . . <br /> MR. ODA: Mr. Chairman. I don ' t want to stifle <br /> discussion. I think it' s good that all this is coming out but <br /> perhaps it might be wise, since we haven ' t done so, that we <br /> check with the Lt. Governor' s Office, tomorrow. I ' ll call and <br /> get a specific response to this proposal one way or the other <br /> and to ask for their opinion on it, whether it. . .well , we ' ll <br /> cite the charter provision. . .the statute on the majority of <br /> the electors. I don ' t want to delay this thing but it ' s <br /> important enough for us to get an opinion anyway. <br /> -34- <br />
