The part about Crowley raised my suspicions. Perhaps he is being disingenuous in his claims? Yeah, he's not running, but if elected he will undoubtedly accept the victory. This is how dirty politics is played in NY. The machine will spring into action to make sure the voters know who to vote for.
That’s right, NYT. Call a huge part of your lunatic base who voted for this radical a “quirk” and see how fast the violent protests start.
Third parties work in NY and CT, because multiple endorsements are allowed. NY has a deep tradition of using them more effectively. In 1980, Al D’Amato beat liberal Republican Jacob Javits in the primary, but Javits had the Liberal Line. D’Amato beat Democrat Liz Holtzman 45% to 44%largely because liberals voted for Javits over the painfully shrill Holtzman, and most of his 11% would have gone to Holtzman.
Be great if she wins BOTH districts. The so-called ‘mainstream’ Democrats would be pulling out what little hair they have left.

Personally I don’t favor ballot-rigging schemes that limit your choices to just the Democrats and Pubbies.
New York congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) accused Rep. Joseph Crowley (D) of refusing to concede the Democratic primary race and mounting a third-party challenge against her.
“[Crowley] stated on live TV that he would absolutely support my candidacy,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Thursday. “Instead, he’s stood me up for all 3 scheduled concession calls.”
