    But if it’s on the form and required, isn’t it the candidates fault for not following procedure? They just blatantly didn’t follow the rules. You shouldn’t complain about rules after you break them and if you know about them in advance.

      It wasn’t on the form and she didn’t know about it in advance.

        If it’s not on the form, it shouldn’t be considered a requirement. I would be suing.

          So, all relevant law should be listed in full on every piece of government paperwork?

          Because I would think the first thing you’d do when wanting to run for office is check what the requirements are and what to do when you register and what conditions are on that.

          I’d look up the form to see if there’s any mention of it, but the Ohio SoS website is offline.
