It’s also a law that’s been on the books years, and last modified in 1995. It’s a common sense law. Candidates should be able to hide past indiscretions with a name change. It has nothing to do with trans issues or dead names.

Well, they can apparently get married to hide their past indiscretions.

And yet getting married and changing your name without disclosure is fine.
