How would the law be applied in a community of say, Chechs, who have cousins running against each other? Would we demand compliance with the spelling rules?
Should the law differ based on the spelling practices of different ethnicities? Should Chechs, because of all the dang consonents run together, be held to a higher standard than others?
If not, then everyone should spell correctly. Are we begin swayed because there was not another name on the list similar to Murkowski’s?
Should that matter?
The rule should be consistent for all scenarios, IMHO.
