Electoral fusion

Helping orphans the way you would do it
Electoral fusion is an arrangement where two or more political parties support a common candidate, pooling the votes for all those parties.

It is prohibited in most States of the United States, but in some, especially New York (and for a long time in Pennsylvania, but no longer there) has been traditional and has strongly affected the political party arrangements in those states.
