The reason for this is the time zone difference. Because Hawaii knows who won the election during a landslide election by 2pm Hawaii time it depresses the losing parties voters who do not show up, or votes for the "winner" instead of the person they would otherwise have voted. Same thing happens in Alaska -- In 92 Alaskan exit polls showed a huge spike up in perot votes after 3pm by which time it was known Bush Sr. lost. Alaskans still could not stomach voting for Clinton.
