FEC rejects Hart bid for federal matching funds
The Federal Election Commission counsel says former Senator Gary Hart is ineligible for matching funds for his 1988 bid because he dropped out on May 8. Hart sought to use 1988 money to cover a 1984 debt and remaining 1988 bills, arguing eligibility persists postwithdrawal. The agency has his unusual transfer request under study and notes qualifications hinge on active candidacy and early fundraising limits.
