Two minor party candidates will have a debate at a later date also using taxpayer dollars. The Major partys don't want to be in the same debate as the minors. Being on the same stage helps minor parties greatly, not being on the same stage, means we don't count. We have judges who see no harm to minor parties in allowing public money to fund a separate debate on public TV. I would think it would be obvious.

The Publicly paid for debates will only be attended by the minor parties. The major party debates will be held on public telivision NJN, but we still don't know if any public money will be used to finance them. By the way, the same loophole with lending money was used by Steve Forbes on his primary campaign.

Pawlowski made a personal loan to the campaign and immediately repaid it after being declared a viable candidate.

This isn't a great victory for 3rd parties. To determine eligibility on the amount of donations/contributions you receive is stupid. The minor canidate's should have been included in the debate if they only raised one dollar. Oh, come on now. This isn’t a great victory for 3rd parties.
