I hope she does appeal this. Considering it is selectively enforced it looks very descriminatory. Especially with Ohio being so very anti-trans right now.
It's a lie. It's not selectively enforced. Anybody elected without petition including name changes in last 5 years will be thrown out of office.
You cannot appeal this, the law is very plain.
It's possible other legal name change candidates did slip by unnoticed with their petitions including only one name, but they will be removed from office if elected.
Where's the box the name is supposed to be put in then if the law says it is supposed to be on the form?
Probably in the same place other trans candidates found it.
If you'd have read the article, you'd know that the other trans people submitted their petitions without their dead names and they were accepted.
Imagine being this big of a fucking dildo.
The downvotes here betray the echo chamber.
