Blakemen denied public campaign finance matching by elections committee over missing paperwork sparking partisan claims

[Saltwater60]

First why are public tax dollars being used to fund political campaign?
Second, I’ll bet it’s a snow job just as he was gaining in the polls.
A Hochul appointment on the board refused to recuse herself and voted. Then he was already certified as eligible a few months ago. Sad.
According to its website, the State Board of Elections had certified his campaign as eligible for the program on December 17, 2025

A 4-3 vote stripped taxpayer matching funds from Governor Hochul’s opponents over missing paperwork

The New York State Public Campaign Finance Board voted four to three to deny public matching funds to six gubernatorial candidates, including Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, due …

He won a legal battle and now is approved for the funds.

Bejing, is now very very upset at Blakeman getting back the funding...............

NYS is owned by the CCP; It needs IOWA desperately.

33 million mouths to feed in Bejing and 80% move on bicycles to find food stores.

Cannibalism?...........CCP ground beef products? besides organ harvesting, are not enough.

One American can feed 10 skinny Chinese for a month.

Even the most liberal, democrat Judge can clearly see this was an underhanded trick to hedge their bets against Blakeman...the Polls and democrat operatives are claiming the lead, but the man on the Street clearly says otherwise.

They approved him for the funds before the new rule took effect and then said never mind. Pretty hard to not see through that one. Don’t worry it’s all planned and now Hochul will get mandami’s support and win. This was all ok’d from the top.
BTW I don’t agree with giving tax payer dollars to political candidates for anything.

On the flip side of that, if everyone was given the same amount of money/airtime/coverage and was only allowed to use those resources it would eliminate external financial influences and level the playing field. I suspect there are a lot of excellent candidates out there that we have no chance of ever finding out about because they can't compete with big money.

I haven't dug down the Rabbit Hole to Blakeman's War Chest, but I expect what's there came from wealthy donors, many of which have given up on the State and moved to Florida.
Stefanik has 12 million and the ability to raise 8 more, and she wasn't going to waste a dime of it on primaries...While I will vote (R) it's simply because I find democrats so reprehensible and nothing else.

My wife an i will try to help fellow NY gun owners by voting RED one last time before NY is in our rearview mirror.
We wont be staying to see how it all works out for the future of NYS. Staying in NY any longer is a prison sentence by the communists in NY.

We have finally come to grips, that NYS can not be saved. We can move elsewhere and hold the line helping to keep communism, out.
My wife an i are up there in years, we want to smell and feel freedom again before we`re gone from this world. To bad NYS couldn`t be saved.

All I can say is an anti blakeman ad runs before every YouTube video I watch. It's been that way for over a month. Hochul is spending a lot of money so she must be scared.

NYS is so dark blue that it is sometimes mistaken for black. All the commies in NY will make sure she wins.
Now that i think about this for a moment, black is the right color for the state, its one big black hole, sucking the life out of everyone.
