But then they'll say microfiche destroyed by fire!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio came up with the idea to demand the original microfilm of Obama's birth certificate after he saw evidence from his Cold Case Posse in Maricopa County, Ariz., that the White House apparently released to the public three different versions of the long-form birth certificate.
"Show me the microfilm, not the copies the White House released," Arpaio has insisted.
What the White House released on April 27 were not original documents but purportedly scans of original birth documents that remain in the Hawaii Department of Health vault.
WND reported yesterday that in 1966, the Hawaii Depatment of Health provided microfilm copies to Mrs. Eleanor Nordyke of the birth certificates for her twins, born the day after Obama in the same hospital.
"Obama's birth certificate is either on that microfilm roll along with the Nordyke twins' birth certificate, or it's not," Arpaio said.
Sources close to the sheriff's law enforcement investigation explained to WND that Arpaio had come up with a solution to end almost immediately a controversy over the Obama birth certificate that has continued since 2008.
"If the microfilm exists, show us the reel. That's the best evidence the document existed in 1961, not the three different versions the White House released on April 27."
The White House released three versions of Obama's long-form birth certificate, each one of which appears fundamentally different from the other two.

“Let’s Go To The Tape…”
He’s got a point!
Put an "R" besides Obama's name and this would be HEADLINE NEWS!
bfl
It will be interesting to see how this goes.
Love that Joe
I made a statement long ago that the microfilm would be the only convincing evidence because a single reel or sheet would contain hundreds of records ,, any single record could be faked but not hundreds.
Why doesn’t Sheriff Joe subpoena Obama’s immigration file at DHS?
Probably nowhere like everything else. The subpoena will be quashed.
Because he’s not stupid enough to fall for that?
All civil subpoenas have been quashed, but I expect that a criminal subpoena or search warrant of HI records would be honored (after the usual foot-dragging and race-card playing) because Obama cannot claim and HI cannot honor his personal privacy claims in a criminal matter involving forgery of identity documents, IMO.
Arpaio cannot go on a fishing expedition based on speculation that there is no microfiche 1961 LFBC, so there would have to be much stronger evidence of a crime sufficient to persuade federal judges to compel HI DOH cooperation at the end of the appeals process.
What is the sheriff’s next step?
Form a grand jury with subpoena power?
File a criminal complaint and get the local prosecutor to subpoena the microfiche?
How does he get the reel?
IIUC correctly, you don't need strong evidence of a crime in order to get a criminal subpoena. All you need are general allegations and a compelling state interest. Sheriff Joe would need to cite a state law which would have been broken by Obama, such as fraud in his presidential preference election nomination form in 2008. OR it could be possibly through a pre-emptive challenge to Obama's inclusion on the Arizona ballot in 2012.
The splicing tape at the beginning and end of Obama’s forged birth certificate on the microfiche would hopefully not be rationalized as “normal” and “routine” by the HI DOH.
That’s a possibility ,, hopefully the film would be on 4” by 6” sheets and not on reels.
IBM’s system360 didn’t come about until 1963 ,, storage devices (DASD and even tape) was VERY EXPENSIVE at that time , optical storage in the form of Kodaks and StorageTEK’s units wouldn’t come about until the 1980’s , also it was highly desirable to have a medium (fiche) that didn’t need some kind of proprietary and very expensive reader to retrieve records on. The RATE of retrieval was in actuality quite minimal , there was no “online” access to visual files then , even for people local to the mainframe(s)... FICHE WAS THEN AND REMAINS THE PREFERRED LONG TERM OFF-SITE BACKUP. Because of it’s compactness there is NO reason to destroy it after digitization... for the few million records a state like HAWAII would generate you’re talking one 4 drawer filing cabinet at most.
here’s a bit from “Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC)”
Amidst the bells and whistles of the digital revolution, preservation microfilming quietly maintains its status as a highly valued and widely practiced preservation reformatting strategy. And why not?
The enduring popularity of preservation microfilm is because of its practicality. Unlike its digital counterpart, microfilm is the product of a nearly static, tested technology that is governed by carefully crafted national standards. When created and stored according to these standards, microfilm boasts a life expectancy of 500+ years.1 It is also worth noting that, while digital data require use of a sophisticated retrieval system to access their treasures, microforms (i.e., microfilm and microfiche) can be read by the naked eye using only light and magnification.
The access potential of microforms admittedly pales in comparison with that of digital technology. Still, microforms can enhance access to information that would otherwise be unavailable because the original item is at a distant site or is vulnerable to damage and/or loss through handling. Also, microforms are relatively inexpensive to produce and to copy.
One key indicator of the continuing relevance of preservation microfilming is its ongoing support at the national level.
Hawaii needs to let a group of people, including both skeptics and non-skeptics, come in and see the original documents.
Video tape the documents. What is Obama hiding?
Until this is done, I will refuse to believe the clown is our legitimate president.
