Based on related reporting. This does not summarize the original publisher’s reasoning.
Related reporting says the ballot was not evidence of election fraud: candidates can appear more than once when nominated by multiple parties, a practice called fusion voting. It also reports that voters may vote for a candidate under only one party.[S2]
