The working families party gets hijacked by conservatives through a process called OTB, Opportunity to Ballot. People change their enrollment to sign petitions to steal the line for Republicans. All perfectly legal though slimy as hell.

I haven't voted for a judge in years because they all run with the Democratic, Republican and Conservatives lines simultaneously.

It's an embarrassment but most people have no idea.
