Ohio transgender candidate disqualified for only including legal name, not former name, on petitions (ohiocapitaljournal.com)

Ohio actually has a law that says if you legally change your name within the last 5 years, it has to be on the petition. In the article it mentions that there is no place for a previous name (dead name in this instance) on the petition, and the Secretary of State’s candidate guide doesn’t mention this requirement at all.

Apparently other trans candidates had their petitions accepted with no problem.

I don't think me explaining again will help, but I do know one way to never get roped into this exchange again.

Seeing "There is no record of this comment" after this loser tries to spread more bullshit somewhere else will feel so liberating
