Compare “None” in box 17a with “August” in box 5a. Why are they misaligned?
Misaligned characters cast doubt on authenticity.
I was just asking if someone could put a similar grid on the Ah’Nee BC. If I knew how to do it, I would have.
It might be nice to instead of comparing the Obama LFBC to the Obama LFBC, we compare it to other Hawaiian BCs from the same time period. The Nordyke BCs for example, or the 1959 Hawaiian BC, has anyone put a grid on them?
One thing I know, sometimes the BCs were placed in a typewriter and then adjusted after a few entries were made.
Look at the Nordyke’s name in the first box. SUSAN or GRETCHEN is closer to the bottom line of the box than NORDYKE. Yet in subsequent entries that doesn’t appear to be the case.
What would happen if we put a grid on Nixon’s BC?

It has already been admitted that if they removed the document from the typewriter, and then re-inserted it into the typewriter at a later time, it is plausible to expect a misalignment of the characters.
However, this is an unusual thing to do, and for the places which demonstrate the misalignment, it makes no sense why anyone would do it.

I didn't place a grid over it, but I did put it into paint and draw vertical lines from upper characters to lower characters. Given the slight misalignment of the image off of being true and plumb, the characters appear to line up correctly in vertical columns, just as they should.
