Vanessa Joy was ruled ineligible under a state law that requires prospective candidates to put their former names on their candidate petitions.

    Marriage requires a license and an officiant. Name change often requires a hearing and publication in a newspaper. So, no, you’re wrong.

      “my name change only…” Did you miss that part?

      Here is what I did: https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll/make-an-adult-deed-poll

      So, no, you’re wrong.

        I think UK and US system might be different.

        Do you think Ohio is in the UK?

          Did I say it was? I said “I assume”, and “my name change”, not hard to read one sentence.

            Your name change, which took place in an entirely different country than where this all occurred… and you assume it was the same process, then you get mouthy with the guy who corrected you…

            You sure you’re from the UK? You sound more like an American twat.

              Yes, mine, which I was very clear about. I said “I assume”, which seemed like a nice and fair enough caveat. The guy who “corrected” my experience? Yeah okay. Said “No, you’re wrong” to my own experience is just being a knob.

              I really don’t care what you think.

        In most US states you need to have a decree of name change notarized by the county clerk, or issued by a family court if. Not that hard to do, but a lot more formal and government-involved than the UK process.

          You missed the part were I said “my name change”. I have no idea about Ohio, and you didn’t seek to give clarification, you just responded like a prick.
