A super PAC with ties to Bitcoin is spending big money to help a Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate. State Rep. Patrick Branco is trailing in the polls in the race to represent Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District. The congressional seat covers rural Oahu and the neighbor islands, and hasn’t gotten a lot of attention until now.
