Is it legal in that state to change one's name? If yes - then fuck them.
And marriage? A woman taking a MAN'S name?? That makes them trans.!!!! ......O_o......? witches! witches! burn them with the books!
Judging by the article (it is not that clear), she might have not filled the lines where they asked to provide names used in the last 5 years. So, changing name legally has nothing to do with it. She might have thought "I did not use this name", when legally she did, i.e. it was in her driver license.
Looky here! A brand new way for lawyers to make money. Fucking hell when will it end.
Any society is based on rules. Even anarchy.
My only guess is that some time in the past, someone did something to damage their reputation, changed their name, then got elected. A lot of weird laws come from one off cases like that. Obviously the law either needs to be updated to be more inclusive or done away with entirely.
