Wishful thinking CNN.

What can I say, other than the State of Hawaii converted over to a digital system, as soon as Clinton signed a law to that effect in 2001, allowing states to convert to digital and discard paper.
Hawaii did it, and the paper was discarded. The original does exist... it’s an image file in their computer system. If you order yours from Hawaii, they print out the image file original and you’ve got your certified copy of your birth certificate. It’s the same thing you would get in any case....
It’s not a big deal, actually, and nothing changes...
