Consensus from commenters is this is how NY always sets up their ballots... each candidate can be endorsed by multiple parties and so are listed as the candidate of each party. Generally NY'ers say they tally all the votes for a candidate together, rather than by party....
I still think this is the poorest formatting I've ever seen on a ballot and I'm from California. Why not list the candidate once then put all the parties who vouch for them under their name?! Seems like that would be far more intuitive and reduce the dreaded "voter disenfranchisement" democrat are always worried about.
