Bloomberg paying off fines and restitution of over 32K felons in Fl.

A memo from the Bloomberg team, obtained Tuesday by the newspaper, explained that the billionaire businessman saw the effort as “a more cost-effective way of adding votes to the Democratic column than investing money to persuade voters who already have the right to vote.”

“We have identified a significant vote share that requires a nominal investment. The data shows that in Florida, Black voters are a unique universe unlike any other voting bloc, where the Democratic support rate tends to be 90%-95%,” the memo read.

The problem is not with the felons in this scheme.....it's with Bloomberg, for the monies are for the purpose of getting and hoping they will vote for Biden.....this is their intent, and this is criminal.

Fair elections is the point, which is why we have laws which prevent "vote buying", which Bloomberg will soon find out.

is he buying votes or, as a private citizen, paying fines for people?

Sounds made up to me. Got any evidence for that?

'the blacks'......

How do 'the whites' vote?

And paying off fines for former criminals who have served their time, and probation, isn't racist or criminal. So now you know!

If we should know this, show us a link that demonstrates this fact everyone must know. Should be easy enough.

When felons lose their voting priveleges that isn't a "poll tax", it is the necessary and intelligent result of what happens to people who live outside the law. In other words punishment. So, unless you would also feel it appropriate for someone to "pay the fine" for felons who have as a result of their crimes had their guns confiscated and their right to own guns suspened, then you are just doing what all liberals do, and that is having selective outrage.

Felons who have served their sentence are entitled to their voting rights. Florida politicians chose against the public will, to obstruct that right. Bloomberg balanced the scales of justice.
 
I would like to know the logistics of this.

How does Bloomberg know who needs their fines paid in Florida from his mansion in New York?

Who brought this plan to him?

Who is really behind this plan?

Right! By only paying the fines for black and hispanic ex-cons. Social justice, baby!
 
Why is it that democrats always side with criminals????
 
Above all else, conservatives hate the right to vote.

Why do Trumpers have no conception of redemption? They committed a crime, but they served their sentence, so they're not criminals any more!

They should read that book they parade around as a prop.
 
Do you think right wingers will ever connect the "loss of voting rights when convicted of a crime" issue to the "certain types of people are targeted by our justice system" issue, or will they forever think that's purely coincidental?

1. They haver served their sentence, they are not criminals anymore
2. Who said they'd vote Biden, many of them will probably vote for Trump or third party too
3. DOOOMberg is NOT a democrat

So for anyone saying it's illegal, it would be if someone running for election or a political party did this. DOOOMberg is not any of this, it's perfectly legal for a private citizen to pay other people's fines if they want to.

“We know to win Florida we will need to persuade, motivate and add new votes to the Biden column,” according to a Bloomberg memo, the Washington Post reported. “This means we need to explore all avenues for finding the needed votes when so many votes are already determined.”

Nope and there is proof.....now what?
