You are correct as far as a lot of people are concerned, but the issue they keep overlooking is that No state law (privacy) can trump an Article of the U.S. Constitution.
It is the tail waging the dog.
State election officials have a duty to place names on the ballot of only those people demonstrated to be qualified for the position they seek to hold. They can demand to see ACTUAL proof, and not just take someone's word for it, even if they are a state official. Besides, Hawaiian law already says an amended birth certificate isn't necessarily proof.
§338-17 Late or altered certificate as evidence. The probative value of a “late” or “altered” certificate shall be determined by the judicial or administrative body or official before whom the certificate is offered as evidence. [L 1949, c 327, §21; RL 1955, §57-20; HRS §338-17; am L 1997, c 305, §4]
And a link to the Hawaiian.gov website where you can find this law.

Strangely, no one in congress has requested proof. They all know Hawaii refused to certify Obama, which explains two different certs by Pelousy. They have to know what the sense of the Senate nonsense was about.
The house leadership could not possibly, NOT know.
So where do you go for Justice? I am still waiting for the pictures of the vandalism when the White House was trashed by the outgoing Clinton administration.
Guess it didn’t happen.
