    Except NC uses plurality voting. If you put two or more progressive candidates on the ballot that actually makes it harder for a progressive to win which is pretty backwards. They do this kind of stuff in primaries all the time: digging up another candidate that is very similar to an existing one, sometimes with the same name, to siphon off votes. The only silver lining here is that “Mr Vaccines Cause Autism” is more likely to take votes away from “Mr China Virus”.
