Ballot Access News
At the New York congressional primaries on June 26, the Reform Party had arranged for all write-ins to be counted in its primary for the 15th U.S. House district. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won that nomination, with 9 write-ins. No names were printed on the ballot. There were also 13 write-ins for other individuals, none of whom got as many as Ocasio-Cortez. Therefore, she was considered nominated.

Therefore, she was considered nominated.
However, she declined the nomination, because she is also running as
the Democratic nominee in the 14th district, and New York state law
doesn’t let individuals run for two offices simultaneously. See this story. Thanks to Frank Morano for the link.
