Fla. candidate legally changes name to web address

[proud2BlibKansan]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Florida is letting a congressional candidate put the name of his web address on the ballot.

Why? Because Eddie Gonzalez went before a Miami-Dade judge this past January and had his name legally changed to "VoteforEddie.com."

A spokesman for the Florida Department of State said Wednesday that officials have no choice because a judge granted the name change request just days after election officials told him he could not use any nicknames.

"As a ministerial office, we have no authority to not permit his legal name to appear on the ballot," said the spokesman, Chris Cate.

1. I hope he wins...

he has no money though, that alone makes it nearly impossible. You would think with no Democrat running he could get some help from the progressive community.
