Some examples of that include two separate tickets of electors fused for the same candidate(s), or a candidate with two different VPs.
2004: Nader's votes in NY couldn't be fused due to having two separate slates.
1952: Douglas MacArthur was on the ballot as the Christian Nationalist and America First candidate in Missouri, with two different VPs (Byrd for America First, Jack Tenney for Christian Nationalist). In Texas, MacArthur/Tenney was the Christian Nationalist Ticket and MacArthur/Vivien Kellems was the Constitution Party ticket.
Also, the Eisenhower tickets in South Carolina couldn't be legally fused, so there was a possibility of the Eisenhower ticket getting more votes on two slates but losing because the votes were for elector slates.
