Fox News: Andrew Cuomo denied almost $3 million in publicly matching funds for mayoral bid, cites 'software error'
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was denied nearly $3 million in publicly matched campaign funds due to documentation errors in at least 20% of his required disclosures. Despite raising over $2.5 million from more than 4,100 donors, his campaign failed to meet the necessary thresholds.
A spokesperson attributed the denial to a "technical software error," which has since been corrected. However, Cuomo's campaign will not receive matching funds until the next allocation period in May. Other candidates, including Mayor Eric Adams, also faced similar denials for compliance issues.
