Maybe some one mark both and they split the $3 dollars. The Dems number is not a multiple of 3 either. Maybe some one mark both and they split the $3 dollars.

It's nice when the state makes a mistake that benefits third parties instead of hurting them.

This does seem to be a voluntary method. Until it was killed by our governor, Minnesota had a limited reinbursement program and I think that we still have some optional public financing. Hmm.

Since the state hadn't honored their bait-and-switch in the past, I was afraid that checking the box would send my money to the government parties.

In NC, each check-off is for 3 dollars, so I'm wondering whence the extra buck-and-a-half. The exact figure is $39,691.50.

Judge Howard Manning's ruling in Wake County Superior Court this week upholds public financing for statewide judicial campaigns -- but says, in effect, that no one can be compelled to pay for it. http://www.news-record.com/blog/54431/entry/66988 There’s another interesting case in NC where a judge ruled that the public cannot be forced to pay for public campaign financing.

The amount is much much than I had expected. I suppose people were happy to donate to an alternative to the Democrats and Republicans. Congratulations. The amount is much much than I had expected.
