Not shame, more enforcing the law. In some states (I don't believe HI is one of them) in order for a vote to count, the citizen must be a registered voter on the day of the election.

South Dakota and Wisconsin are two such states that I can recall off hand.

We are still the United States of America and hence each of our states has different laws concerning elections.
