Advertiser Staff

Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama's half-sister, got to Kawananakoa Middle School about 7 p.m. to vote.

Despite a high fever and losing her voice, Soetoro-Ng mingled with the crowd briefly and took pictures with Obama supporters.

"It's wonderful," Soetoro-Ng said softly, of the high turnout.
