Reply to comment by Zen1 in Reports of alleged voter intimidation and interference in NC ahead of Election Day by Zen1
In NH we had people on the ballot that were registered in MULTIPLE parties. Candidates were listed as both republican and democrat, or libertarian and democrat.
You'd think that would be illegal.
There was also a state amendment (introduced by republicans of course) that would allow the legislature to have free reign when it comes to elections. One sentence in the middle of a block of text, a block of text that otherwise appears innocuous.
At the end, they added a note saying that our right to vote wouldn't be affected. And there's the rub. It doesn't matter if you have a right to vote when other people are controlling what you can vote for, or can throw out an election if they don't like the results.
Not that it matters either way. Once the Moore decision happens they won't need a state amendment to pull that kind of crap.

Are they registered for multiple parties or just endorsed by multiple?

It would make more sense outside of our two-party system, where niche parties have to form coalitions and blocs with major ones
