Well, I have kind of a different twist on it all....
There are some people who don't wish to have their names on the site,
preferring to use xx County Coordinator or webmaster. I've heard of
stalking incidents, and have had a few most unusual and scary things happen
over a website in MI with five prisons there. So there are and can be some
very valid reasons.
Bottom line with me is - if I don't want my name on the site for some reason
and decide to call myself Kandy Kane - I do believe its okay, as long as the
State Coordinator knows who I am, and I register to vote under my real name
and let them know I have an alias.
The ones that would concern me would be, if someone adopts sites in ten
different states, or several in one state, calling themselves different
names on each one and not letting the SC and EC know who they really are.
Going back to slide under my rock.

My two cents...
Unless you're a FBI or CIA agent, I can't imagine that using an alias is
anything but willful attempt to commit fraud. This has been done with a
wink and a chuckle throughout the history of the USGenWeb Project,
along with suddenly appointing people as assistant county or state
coordinators in time for them to run for election in particular
regions.
Our organization is very loosely organized. I've recently "lost" a town
coordinator for my New London County CTGenWeb site. Her pages are too
valuable to de-link, but the e-mail address bounces, and I have no way
to reach this volunteer. She's been MIA for a year.
The only logical solution to these problems is to require (in a secure
database), the full name, mailing address, telephone number, and
alternative e-mail address for every member eligible to vote.
I also believe that any candidate for the AB should have been an active
volunteer in that region for at least a year prior to nomination.
