I've studied New York State's fusion electoral law and find it intriguing. Basically, the smaller parties in the state, Conservative, Green and Working Families can run their own candidates in an election, but if they find they like a candidate from another party, can back that candidate. So, the Working Families Party usually backs Dems and on the ballot one would find such a candidate appearing twice, once as Working Family, once as a Democrat. I'd like to hear from New York voters. Do you like this system? Do you like to vote for a major party candidate on a different ballot line? Do you care?
