I’ve said this before, but...
The BO team didn’t take into account that (a) there are many newspaper stands which sell or have sold “home town” newspapers for people who have moved far away, and (b) sometimes people like to hold onto (whole) old newspapers (not just clippings) for pure sentimental/historic reasons.
And there are MANY of these people. Fiddling with a few rolls of library microfilm can’t change that.
Pray for the safety of this team and their work.

If they did doctor up the few newspaper microfilms, they probably believed that this would not go on for this long. That it would blow over in a short time. And if they did believe that Obama's controversial hidden past would persist, then they rolled the dice hoping that no 1961 Hawaiian Advertiser would show up from someone's cardboard box stashed in a garage. They can never be sure.
Finding a newspaper that was missing the birth announcement would refute an Hawaii birth, but I anticipate that Zullo’s new evidence is some sort of hard proof that Barry was affirmatively born somewhere else.
Lack of proof on a Hawaii birth wouldn’t prove ineligibility, but proof that he was born outside the US could make him ineligible, depending on the citizenship of each of the real parents and the mom’s age at his birth.
