Interesting. Too many facts for mainstream media? I'd agree.

[kawi kid]

Maybe Ohio could make a big difference in this election after all lol

[Gump]

It didn't really say why he could not have had a face to face in Connecticut to get the number? Can the issue a dead persons number to another person?

[chevysoldier]

It's Bush's fault.

Need to see the original SSAN application, and check the zip code given.

If a typist goofed and typed "0" instead of "9", a Connecticut SSAN would have been issued instead of one from Hawaii.

the zip code for the Dunhams in 1976 was 96814 - if one replaces the 9 with a 0, one gets zipcode 06814, a zip code for Danbury, CT

edit: ok, it doesn't explain why the duplicate SSAN with a guy named Ludwig from CT born in 1890 that died in Hawaii in 1981.

Edit again: The SSAN from Hawaii that might have been typo'd (that looks like it's from CT), isn't the same SSAN as the one issued in CT when at Harvard that is a duplicate SSAN from somebody else in CT. Ok, now I'm confused. I give up.

Best way to hide something white collar is to make it complex...come on Recon! I was enjoying reading your analysis.

Me again... the thingy about duplicate SSAN with dude named Ludwig appears to be false. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/ssn.asp Although Snopes is getting to be a bit hard to trust sometimes. They make mistakes also.

Still working on why two SSANs... the only good true one is 042-68-xxxx. Which assumes a typo when registered in Hawaii. Also possible that the first three digit thing identifying the state was stopped prior to that. Not sure.

. The Area Number is assigned by the geographical region. Prior to 1972, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the State in which the card was issued. This did not necessarily have to be the State where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office. Since 1972, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant's mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence. Thus, the Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, either prior to 1972 or since.

Per the same snopes link.

How about we just vote his @ss out end of story!

One should not make too much of the "geographical code." It is not meant to be any kind of useable geographical information. The numbering scheme was designed in 1936 (before computers) to make it easier for SSA to store the applications in our files in Baltimore since the files were organized by regions as well as alphabetically. It was really just a bookkeeping device for our own internal use and was never intended to be anything more than that.
