Brennan Center Issues a Report, Rebutting the Claim That Public Funding Law Means Ballot Access Must be Restricted

Posted on by January 18, 2020

The Brennan Center for Justice has released this 8-page analysis, rebutting the claims of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo that if New York installs public funding for candidates for state office, it needs to toughen ballot access to save money.

Also, the Campaign Finance Institute, which supports public funding, also studied the same issue. Its 39-page report comes to the same conclusion, that there is no need to make ballot access more difficult. The Campaign Finance Institute argues that the ballot access provisions can be severed from the public funding provisions, even though the new law plainly says that if any part of the new law is void, the entire law is void. Thanks to Scott Muller for both links.
