Ohio Republican could face disqualification under name change law aimed at trans candidates
Republican State Rep. Tex Fischer could be disqualified under the same law used to disqualify a transgender candidate, or even possibly removed from his seat.
Can’t have people changing their names. I mean how would Rafael Cruz or Donald Bowman ever get elected? Oh wait…
121 0 ReplyWell to be fair Pudding Fingers Cruz isn't Ohio's problem.
Edit: As a commenter observed, Pudding Fingers is actually Ron Desantis. Cancun Cruz would be more accurate
18 0 ReplyHe's a Senator from possibly the most gerrymandered state in the entire country. He's everyone's problem and accountable to nobody except the fascist GOP.
19 0 ReplyWait, isn't desantis the guy that ate pudding with his fingers? I think Cruz is mostly famous for fleeing to Cancun when things got ugly at home

If the governing body who has to decide on this is GOP led, nothing will come of this.
They will decide to follow the intent of the law, not the letter.
43 0 ReplyYup. Still important to bring up these cases to highlight how ridiculous the whole thing is.
11 0 ReplyI didn't mean it doesn't matter. I meant to point out the two-faced arbitrariness of the GOP.

It's the "conservatism means there must be outgroups for the law to bind but not protect, and in groups for the law to protect but not bind" thing again.

Republican State Rep. Tex Fischer legally changed his name from Austin James Fischer to Austin James Texford Fischer in 2020
Ha! What?! Why! What a silly thing to do. I have no ability to understand the motivation here. We are different types of people.
