Who is?Literally Anybody Else
Dustin Ebey, a Texas native, has legally changed his name to Literally Anybody Else and is contesting the elections.
The 35-year-old 7th-grade math teacher and Army veteran says he represents a protest against the choices offered by the major political parties for the upcoming presidential election.
Why is?Literally Anybody Else contesting?
"This isn't about me, 'Literally Anybody Else,' as much as it is about the idea that we can do better out of 300 million people for president," he said.
Else is dead serious about his campaign and has a website detailing his policy positions where people also can make donations to support him.
"The Literally Anybody Else Campaign offers a new vision for America. We believe in a transparent, accountable government that truly represents all Americans. Our mission is to restore faith in our political system with practical, achievable solutions," the website reads.
Can he be a candidate
To be recognized as a candidate, Else must submit a petition with at least 113,151 signatures from registered voters who did not participate in the presidential primary of either major party.
So Else is running a write-in campaign in Texas, where he did not get the required signatures, and is expected to appear by name on the Tennessee ballot, where he said he did get the required amount of signatures.
