Crowley confirmed that he had a "brief" and "positive" conversation with Ocasio-Cortez last week, the first since her win. The delay, he said, was simply due to "missed lines of communication."

Crowley also explained his decision to forgo a complicated procedure to remove his name from the ballot in New York's 14th District, arguing again that the "arcane nature of New York state election law" -- and not any zombie campaign plot -- was to blame.

As it stands, his name will appear on the Working Families Party line, a place he secured with the party's pre-primary endorsement, despite its subsequent request that he agree to have it removed.

Crowley has said he believes the process of moving his nomination is on par with "election fraud" and will not engage. (It is, in fact, legal.) Last week, former Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Lieberman, who lost a Democratic Senate primary in 2006 only to win re-election as an independent that fall, wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal headlined, "Vote Joe Crowley, for Working Families."

It does sound arcane
According to the byzantine state law, Crowley would have to formally move out of the state, die, be convicted of a crime or agree to switch his nomination to another office -- presumably down the ballot into a race he had no intention of contesting -- in order to vacate his current place.
But the "fraud" claim is BS since it's the law.
Asked point-blank by CNN on Wednesday if he is asking his constituents not to vote for him, even as they see his name appearing alongside that of Ocasio-Cortez on the ballot, Crowley said: "Well, I've said I'm not running, so, I've consistently said that."
 
Thead number eight from the OP about the same one congressional candidate out of literally hundreds.
