Linda Lingle has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal, and instructed the state's Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances.
She did not actually "seal" anything. She made his original vault BC off limits for everyone except those eligible to receive it.
But, here I go again, the COLB is still out there, along with the LOV, and if reporters had an ounce of intelligence (most don't), they would be asking for these documents, or make the case that all America wants to know is if he was born on August 4, 1961 in Hawaii.
