Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who is running for governor of New York this year, has been denied up to $7 million in public matching funds by a state board in a party-line vote.

The New York State Public Campaign Finance Board took a 4-3 vote on Tuesday, with all Democratic members on the panel siding against the GOP gubernatorial nominee. The decision was related to an apparent error in paperwork filed by his running mate, Madison County Sheriff Todd Hood.
