Maybe SoS Kobach recognizes that in order for the information to match, it has to be identical. Look again at his statement “… the birth certificate on record with the state of Hawaii matches the birth certificate that is on the White House website, so I have no doubt.”
If Kobach doesn’t buy your argument what makes you believe that members of Congress will? If they call SoS Kobach won’t he tell them your theory doesn’t work?
If “matches” means the same thing as identical, then Onaka BY LAW had to verify exactly what Kobach submitted: that the information was IDENTICAL. The fact that he didn’t shows that “matches” and “identical” are NOT the same thing.
And BTW, Onaka also didn’t use the same URL for the White House BC in his verification as what Kobach gave either, and claims that what he compared was this OTHER webpage and the original record. So Onaka altered his response to Kobach’s actual request in 2 different ways. Both deliberate actions since it would have been easier to simply type the verbiage verbatim from Kobach’s request than to make up something different to verify.
