On March 31, the New York Public Financing Campaign Board disqualified Bruce Blakeman’s application for public funding. He is the likely Republican nominee for Governor. Blakeman’s application didn’t list his Lieutenant Governor running mate. See this story.
Does this allow him to accept more private donations?
No, it has no effect on the state limits that an individual may donate to a candidate.
Even if it did, would he have really applied to the extortion funded program if he thought he could do better by not doing so ? Think about it.
Also, this reminds me a lot of your other story
