What do you mean “turn-around time”? It went one direction and didn’t turn around. And his number is three digits AFTER Gretchen’s. Also, what was in the two red x boxes?
There are two things here. First, from the dates and times of the births and the parent signatures, we can assume the hospital records clerk didn’t work after 5 pm on Fridays and the office was likely closed Saturdays and Sundays. That means the earliest Ann could have signed anything was Monday, Aug. 7th. There is no way the paperwork could have gotten from the hospital on Monday, Aug. 7th, to the courthouse, and on to the state health department by Tuesday, Aug. 8th.
Second, the usual proceedure is stamp it immediately upon opening the mail, then it’s placed in someone’s IN box to be signed later, and eventually it gets filed and recorded. The order of number stamp doesn’t bother me because several could have arrived in the mail in the same large envelope and they were numbered according to how they were pulled out of the envelope, or that his arrived after the twins. The RED FLAG that it is a FORGERY is his could NOT have been filed on Aug. 8th three days before his number was issued (at the earliest) on Aug. 11th.
Or did you mean “turn around time” from the hospital to the newspaper? Ok, got cha. Yeah, well, we all know that was an impossibility and the usurper is still sitting in the oval office.
