unusual facts about electoral fusion



Charles N. Frink

He declared his party affiliation as "Populist", the only Wisconsin officeholder elected as a fusion candidate in 1896 to do so (the others all declared themselves to be Democrats, in the wake of the unsuccessful 1896 experiment with Democratic/Populist fusion).

George B. McClellan, Jr.

In November 1903, McClellan defeated the sitting Mayor, Seth Low (independent Fusion), for a two-year term.

Isireli Tuvuki

He came in third, behind Ratu Josefa Dimuri of the Conservative Alliance (CAMV) and Evia Varani Sailo of the Fiji Labour Party (FLP), but Fiji's voting system (which combines elements of instant run-off voting and electoral fusion) resulted in enough votes cast for low-polling candidates to be transferred to Tuvuki to give him 52.3 percent of the vote on the final count.
