I'm not disputing the rules, they just seem so damn archaic at this point. The digital era made a lot of this redundant. Got my social? The government knows who I am. Got my current ID? The government knows who I am.

Yeah who do they think changed her name? It’s in the public record because a judge did it

If this person can't follow the law/rules on the APPLICATION, why would they be trusted to follow the rules when/if they are elected to office.

Like any politician follows the rules. Lol

that's kind of the point

If no politician, or very few at any rate, follows the rules then it is a moot point because it can't be a metric for indicating effectiveness in office. This, not worth mentioning at all.
