With less than 60 days before the general election, the city must figure out what went so wrong with the new voting system on Primary Day and how to fix those problems. Election watchdogs say most of the voting mishaps were caused by humans, not the new machines.

Candidates running in tomorrow's primary have been appearing around New York City today, hunting for last-minute votes.

New York City's Charter Revision Commission on Monday night finalized the questions that will go on the general election ballot this November. City voters will get to decide whether to restore a two-term limit for elected officials or keep the current three-term cap put in place in 2008.

New York City's Charter Revision Commission will hold its last scheduled meeting tonight to finalize the ballot questions for this year's general election.

WNYC has been reporting on the fundraising efforts of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo. He's raised more than $25 million  -- and more than $3 million of it comes from "limited liability companies," or LLCs. The practice is legal, but government watchdogs say it's a loophole that lets wealthy individuals get around contribution limits by setting up shell companies.

Candidate Cuomo has pledged to close the LLC loophole, but he says in order to win office and reform the campaign law, he first needs to get elected. And to get elected, he says, he needs to keep the loophole open for just a little while longer, because he is not rich enough to finance his own campaign.

An investigation by WNYC has found that Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo has been accepting large amounts of money from limited liability corporations, a practice that is legal but is widely believed to skirt the intent of campaign law.

Assemblywoman Joan Millman of Brooklyn is sponsoring a bill to close the loophole on LLCs donating huge sums of money to political campaigns in New York. She says she hopes Cuomo will rethink his decision to take so much money from these groups.
