What explanation do you offer to explain the anomalous alignment?
There are a number of possible explanations:
1. The document wasn't typed in one continuous sequence, i.e., the clerk may have completed portions of the document based on information at hand, while awaiting some item to be completed (e.g., the child's name isn't often decided immediately, information about the father could be pending, etc.) So if the document were taken out and reinserted a second time into a typewriter, the characters are unlikely to align in the way you're demanding.
2. It's possible to type a form with the paper release not secured, which allows the paper or form to move easily. If that were the case at some point during the document's completion, slight discrepancies in alignment could occur.
3. There may be some distortion caused in the copying/scanning process. As I noted in my prior post, the Zatkovich analysis treats this as mostly like true scan of a hardcopy document with some "enhancements to legibility" made. Is it possible that during some post-scan "clean up" process that some slight alignment distortions were created? It seems so. I've not seen an argument by you our any one that precludes that possibility.
But there are things that you need to explain as well, as I noted in my prior post. If this document wasn't composed on a typewriter, but is a purely computer-generated electronic file (as some claim), then how is it that the image shows curvature along the left margin in the way one would observe copying a hardcopy document from a bound volume? How is it that the characters along the left side of the document DO align (which is remarkable, if the computer user is supposedly not aware a typewritten document would need to show that).
So what say you?
1. ...So if the document were taken out and reinserted a second time into a typewriter, the characters are unlikely to align in the way you're demanding.
Already admitted to by everyone discussing this. Yes, if you remove the document from the typewriter, then re-insert it, you can produce this effect. But what plausible reason would anyone have for doing this? Likelihood as an explanation? Slim to the point of nonexistent.
2. It's possible to type a form with the paper release not secured, which allows the paper or form to move easily. If that were the case at some point during the document's completion, slight discrepancies in alignment could occur.
Demonstrably false by the fact that we have properly aligned characters on both sides of incorrectly aligned characters. We also have properly aligned characters interspersed with incorrectly aligned characters throughout the document. An unsecured paper release would need to be fixed once, not multiple times.

Not even worthy of consideration. That is merely a pathetic straw towards which you are grasping.
If this document wasn't composed on a typewriter, but is a purely computer-generated electronic file (as some claim), then how is it that the image shows curvature along the left margin in the way one would observe copying a hardcopy document from a bound volume?
Because it was put into the bound volume after it was created. This is perfectly consistent with the evidence supporting an adoption by Lolo Soetoro.
How is it that the characters along the left side of the document DO align (which is remarkable, if the computer user is supposedly not aware a typewritten document would need to show that).
Because a misalignment along a margin is quite easy to notice, but one in the middle of a page is not. At least not without superimposing a grid.
