I’m thinking that most states have cross-endorsement?

WFP was Joe Crowley’s hope to stop AOC...he turned it down.

The WFP was stuck with Crowley, and vice versa. There are only three ways to get a candidate off the line: if the person moves out of state or dies, or is nominated for another office.

Crowley just refused to campaign, so he got a nominal vote total. Caruso-Cabrera will get a similarly nominal number of votes in November, as she’s on a couple of the minor-party lines.

Numerous states have cross-endorsement, or as it’s called, fusion, but only New York and two others hve what’s known as “disaggregated fusion,” which means that if you get more than one party’s endorsement (say, Republican and Conservative), your name appears separately on both lines (but the vote total is added together.)

Nope. Very few, Connecticut and New York are two of the only ones I know, but I know there are few others.
