Mechanically? You can have multiple parties without splitting the ticket upballot. Two aligned parties can both nominate Ghoul Braineaterson to Governor and argue over Leech Bloodsuckmeoff or Stab Killington for State Senate.
Practically speaking? Its so NY can cosplay as a multi-party governing system without giving any lay voter a chance to pick their representatives.
Yeah, that shit is insane. I'm not sure if these judges are just running uncontested or if you actually have Republican party members voting to entrench incumbents. Either way, I can't help but suspect NY's status as having some of the most cloistered primaries in the nation has something to do with it.
So you can have the same name multiple times. Also of you think that's bad look at the judges.
While I didn't get all six in the picture l, they're running unopposed and are all sponsored by the same parties. But remember, it's China that doesn't have a democracy.
What’s the reasoning for having a republican and conservative ticket with all the same candidates?

Just what ever you do, DO NOT LOOK AT THE JUDGES. (out of frame their are six people running for six seats, all endorsed by the three major parties)

Uncontested, six seats for six candidates.
Lol idk….. maybe to catch the libertarian types that say “I’m not a republican” but vote for all their policies anyway? It’s weird for sure lol

That’s actually a much better way of doing things than what most states do
