An Illinois trial court has removed Natalie Rose DiCianni from the Democratic primary ballot because she listed her nickname and her surname together with a hyphen. Her petitions show her as Natalie Rose Shannon-DiCianni. “Shannon” is her nickname. See this story. She is appealing. She is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Forest Preserve Commissioner of DuPage County.
Apparently, this Rose doesn’t smell any prettier by any other name.
