Actually it's only 5% of the federal vote. Then yes, they would be eligible to receive federal tax dollars to fund their campaigns, and take part in the national debates along with the Dem and Rep parties.
So it makes sense for these 3rd parties to also nominate the nominees for the big parties, hoping to just pull 5% of the vote into their party to get funding and visibility for the next election cycle.
Just seems like the formatting is very confusing and could be set up in a more intuitive way?! Like list the candidate once, and put all the parties who endorse him under his name.
