That has been settled.  One person, one listing, even if that person has
multiple party nominations.  The person in this situation would not appear
on the ballot twice.  The number of party nominations does not affect this.

I recall there's a race in Alaska right now with two similarly named guys,
one a Republican and one not.  Both people appear separately on the ballot.
