One of the conditions to becoming certified in the
State of New York is the "push", (their terms).
It appears that various parties can choose
their candidates in various races to represent them, even though the
candidates are not of their party. Should a voter happen to vote for the
same candidate (team) more than once in the same race, even though it is a
race for one, then the vote goes to the higher ranked party. The election
establishment in New York call this a "push".
Fax sent to Tab and Ken. George W. is the
candidate for the Republicans and the Conservative, Al Gore is the candidate for
Democratic, Liberal and Working Families. The race for United States
Senator (Vote for One), has Hillary Rodham Clinton running for Democratic,
Liberal, and Working Families. If a voter marked the ballot for all three
parties for Hillary, the vote would go to the highest ranking party, i.e..
the Democratic Party.
