I believe the theory is that multiple "identities" would resolve down to one "actor" when selected, who would then show up in person and press their party line.  It's quite a complex process, but it does appear to be the only way that one would branch-stack this process.  And of course, you'd have to find someone willing to play the part of a false identity.

Will the sock-puppet show up to NomCom calls and meetings?
