The event is slated for 6:30 p.m. at Natural Bridge & Lucas and Hunt.

Nick, Tim is referring to the primary, where McCain was certified for public financing, secured a loan on the promise of repayment by public financing, then opted out once he emerged as the nominee apparent. Technically, that’s illegal.
McCain also avoided having to present a certain amount of signatures to get on the ballot in several states because publicly financed candidates can avoid this requirement. Ordinarily, this would have taken up a lot of staff time or millions to pay signature gatherers to get him on the ballot.
