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.
So. They couldn’t find anyone else that had to do it, even other candidates who transitioned…
The form doesn’t even have a place for it…
And the 33 page guide doesn’t mention it…
So why is it an issue here?
I feel like this part is the real reason:
It’s an issue because some asshat at her local county board of elections wanted to make an example of her.
It’s very plain easy to understand law

You are a liar saying only this one person is targeted. There is no one else that has done this without including both names.
Let me know who, because they will owe Ohio taxpayers quite a sum.
From the article you’re commenting on:
From my comment your replying to:
Lies. Stop fucking lying. Google “ohio candidate petition”. All the Ohio SoS links

Any other candidates that didn’t include legal name change with 5 years, if elected, will be removed from office. (1)
You don’t need a special place on form, the law is very clear. The petition and declaration of candidacy shall contain both names where it says name.
(Edit) you are correct the 33 page booklet does not include reference to 3513.271. But the actually petition forms do other than the literal 2 page petition.
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
Die, transphobe fuck
Fucking love it.
Only response these shit heaps should get other than violence.
You’re scum.
Seeing how you immediately suspect someone of lying rather than simply misunderstanding something speaks volumes to the the objective fact that you are a moron.
The anger in your response and the fact that you feel the need to literally insult someone indicates that you feel very insecure on this subject and don’t have arguments to back up your position.
Jump off a cliff.
