An interesting quirk of fusion voting is that it becomes possible for a
candidate to obtain the nomination of every party.  While this was rare
for major elections, it did happen in quite a few cases with local
elections.  One wonders if more than a few of these candidates weren't
entirely honest with at least one of the parties nominating them.
