New York State permits so-called "cross-endorsements", in which a candidate is allowed to appear on more than one Party's ballot line: thus, a candidate who loses the nomination of one of the two Major Parties for a given office but has already been nominated for that same office by at least one Party which is not one of the two Major Parties will still appear somewhere on the General Election ballot despite losing said Primary; in other words, a candidate losing in the Primary does not necessarily preclude that candidate from running for the same office in November. Primaries are not used when a Special Elections is called to fill a vacant U.S. House Seat. Parties nominate their candidates and independents submit petitions to appear on the Special Election ballot. |

Congressman District 4 (Congresswoman McCarthy had indicated she might run against Sen. Gillibrand in the 2010 Senate Primary because of Gillibrand's strong support from the National Rifle Association; Mrs. McCarthy's husband was killed- and her son gravely wounded- in the infamous 'Long Island Railroad Massacre' aboard a commuter train on 7 December 1993 and her first foray into Politics was primarily in response to this event.
