I can’t explain it. I can postulate that the usual Registrar might have been on vacation and someone else messed things up a bit, or perhaps a date was fudged, but that is pure speculation.
A good researcher would establish a history of registration date vs number for births during the period. Unlike Obama’s information, other births in that time period should be easily available for public scrutiny. If it can be demonstrated that Obama is the only case where registration date and number are out of sequence, then there is a significant issue. OTOH - if it is commonplace for the numbers to be out of sequence, despite what has been previously explained, then this is a non-issue.
A good researcher can’t get access to BC#’s unless the holders of the BC decide to give them access. Non-certified COLB’s are supposed to be releasable to anybody who asks for them, but the HDOH is not following the laws or rules at this point. That is just a fact.
And that’s exactly why this is not really about Obama at all. It’s about laws and rules being routinely broken for the sake of a political agenda.
I have looked at all the long-form BC’s that I can find on the web and compared the hospital with the dates of birth and filing, and what I can see is that Kapiolani submitted their BC’s on Fridays. That fits the picture of what Lori Starfelt says the HDOH told her.
Ultimately, the only serial number we have - the only thing that acts as a date and time stamp at the HDOH - is the BC# itself. There is also the original birth index which would probably have the BC#’s and dates of filing, but the HDOH claims that no longer exists even though it existed in 1980 and was required to be kept permanently at the HDOH.
It’s one of a couple permanent records that the HDOH says doesn’t exist. I don’t know about you, but destroying critical permanent records that would prevent fraud is not cool in my book. Every law-abiding person should be screaming bloody heck for this. But the media won’t report it.
