Abstract

"Politics + Other Mistakes" piece on independent gubernatorial candidate Phillip Morris NaPier, who legally changed his name in 2002 to "Phillip Morris NaPier Thu People's Hero." NaPier wanted his full moniker to appear on the ballot, but the Secretary of State's Office turned down the request on grounds that he is registered to vote using his original name. In addition, state law permits candidates up to three words on the ballot to describe their political affiliations, but none of the words can be obscene. As a result, NaPier could not run under the affiliation of the "Pissed Off Patriots" party as he had proposed.
