Only in Florida – Candidate changes his name to his website address

May 30, 2012 By Ken Tinkler

I guess you can add this to the “Only in Florida” category – a candidate for the U.S House of Representatives in Miami has legally changed his name to his website address.  So if you live in Hialeah, Florida, it is likely you’ll see “VoteforEddie.com” running for office.  The Division of Elections has all of the documentation online here – including the court’s order changing his name and my favorite part, the proper pronunciation of VoteforEddie.com: “voet fer edee daat com.”  News stories by Politico and the Miami Herald.
