If someone has had a recent change of name, yet only has the court order at this time (in other words the next step is social security), would they be able to vote utilizing their new name?

That'd be one example, yes

Any old change of name lol, adoption into a family would be another example

That's an interesting thought, hoping to see someone chime in on this one :)

You may already be aware of this, but you can finish the social security part through mail, everything else should be simple enough after that :)
