When you enter a voting booth and a candidate is listed under two parties (ie Democrat and Working Families) are the total votes tallied together to determine how many people voted for that person? As in, it doesn't matter what "party" you voted for them under, you still voted for that person?

I think so - I have never seen such a thing happen!

I'm pretty sure you can't be listed twice.
Where I live, two women with the same name were both on the ballot for school board member. They were distinguished from each other by listing their occupations next to their names.
You might be thinking of a situation like this.

I believe so.
Otherwise, that candidate could get up to 2ice the votes he or she would normally get, and that would never happen even in our politically fragmented country.

yea it still goes under that persons name, its an old trick to put that persons name under several different parties to get more votes, though it usually just confuses peope.
