A number of trans candidates are running for Ohio's House of Representatives, spurred on by the recent surge in anti-trans laws. Unfortunately, one has been blocked because she did not list her deadname, a requirement that is both discriminatory and not included in the Secretary of State's handbook. Yikes! Hopefully she can bring a court case and prevail.
