If this is a legit ballot, not only it is prefilled but also is misleading as there are two options for Trump.

Vote "Conservative" and the vote is wasted.

Need more proof that this is legit.

I've only ever seen this one image in regards to this story. It definitely needs more proof to back it up.

Some NY pede confirmed that having candidates on the ballot twice is normal in NY.

Looks like there is another column for Biden/Harris, too. Look at the right edge.

These must be bogus ballots.

But why would the SAME candidate run on both the Republican and Conservative ticket at the same time? Is that allowed?

It happens in Oregon too. If the Independent party doesn’t have a candidate, they endorse someone who is running for one of the other parties if they like them.

It looks like option D is another Biden/Harris. What a mess.

I found an old Queens ballot with the same problem: https://qns.com/2018/10/fifteen-incumbent-queens-lawmakers-no-opponents-election-day/

One guy appears four times. 🤦‍♂️

this is just how NY does it, we have like 20 parties and they are all basically the same people

Thanks for the info. I figured it was legit, just crazy to the rest of us.

In NY(C) there is a party called ‘Conservative’ and Trump is their man. A vote for Trump in that column is not wasted.

IIRC they do that break out for determining whether a party gets on the next ballot, and there are usually 4 or 5 on a ballot.
