It's perfectly legal“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?
Above all else, conservatives hate the right to vote.
It's perfectly legal
Are there any charges? Nope
Looking into? That is all you got?This is a new story, the Florida Attorney General is looking into this now. And, no, it is not perfectly legal, as has been shown to you. Denial does your side a great disservice.
Where is the link to the AG herself saying she is looking into it rather than Rep. Gaetz making this claim?This is a new story, the Florida Attorney General is looking into this now. And, no, it is not perfectly legal, as has been shown to you. Denial does your side a great disservice.
I haven't seen it eitherWhere is the link to the AG herself saying she is looking into it rather than Rep. Gaetz making this claim?

'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!
Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg and his team have raised more than $16 million to pay the court fines and fees of nearly 32,000 Black and Hispanic Florida voters with felony convictions, an effort aimed at boosting turnout for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
The money will go to fund a program organized by the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition to pay the fines, fees and restitution costs for former prisoners who are already registered to vote in Florida but barred by law from participating in the election because of those outstanding debts.
Bloomberg, who has committed at least $100 million to electing Biden in the state, raised the money from individuals and foundations over the last week, his advisers said. He saw the donations 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, a Bloomberg memo said.
…
The Bloomberg effort, which will be pooled with about $5 million already raised by the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, is narrowly focused only on Black and Hispanic voters who are already registered to vote and whose debts are less than $1,500.
“We have identified a significant vote share that requires a nominal investment,” a Bloomberg memo on the donation reads. “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 also noted that the universe of new voters amounts to roughly the margin of victory for Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2018 and three times Republican Sen. Rick Scott’s winning margin that year.
It is a problem.
If anyone believes that Bloomberg didn't just buy 31,000 votes in Florida for the Democrats (quid pro quo), then IMO they are being willfully blind.
If anyone supports this kind of thing, then IMO they are suffering so badly from TDS that they are either unable or unwilling to see the problems with their own "win at all costs" hypocrisy.
But this is typical of the current socialist dystopian view. Clearly reflected in the Democrat's threats to "stack the SCOTUS," eliminate/undermine the electoral college, impeach the President for doing his Constitutional duty, push "mass mail voting" knowing it is a problem...do ANYTHING to win by any means necessary.
Aww did he hurt your feewings? Were you not on the list?
Wow! You're accusing me of being an ex-con, who committed a RL crime?...lol!
Insults are all you people have when you're challenged...LMAO!
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.
You're confused about the problem. These felons could not vote unless they paid a fine. That's absurd. That's a poll tax. How can you possibly justify the idea that someone cannot vote until they pay a fine?
It's obvious that this is an attempt at voter supression. It's hard to respect your opinions when you're so blind to the real injustice here.
Its a fine nuianse that is at play here but i dont think what he is doing by how the law is written is ilegal for exactly the reason you stated. Its not illegal to help someone to vote as long as that help isnt contigent on who they vote for.It is illegal to pay someone to vote a certain way. It is not illegal to pay someone's fine allowing them to vote as they see fit. I'm so happy that the poll tax is being paid for all of these legal voters. To bad for Matt Gaetz. He doesn't have the money to challenge M.B.
What exactly are you talking about? Stupid people all over America vote and own guns (Republicans) as there is currently no I.Q. test required before doing either. Are you advocating for I.Q. tests before being able to purchase a firearm because I think Democrats could get behind this idea.
Now you're claiming you have it rougher than Jesus?
I.Q. tests to exercise your 2nd Amendment rights and calling Jesus a *****, I have to be honest, this is not where I saw this conversation going.
How is it wrong? He's rich and he can do pretty much what he wants with his cash. Remember, the FL Supreme Court said they could vote if their fines are paid. Their fines are paid, they're legally eligible. Take it and like it.Is this really happening in America? A billionaire raising money and paying off the fines of felons in Florida, so they can register to vote. If this is not criminal, I don't know what is....goodness. This needs to be investigated immediately and forthwith to get to the bottom of this vote buying, bribery scheme.

This is so wrong on so many counts.....unbelievable.

It would be illegal if a political party or someone like Biden or Trump or anyone else running for office did this. DOOOMberg is none of this, just a way too rich asshat. Basically it's not illegal for a private person to pay someone else's fines.From uslegal.com:
Any reward given to a person for voting in a particular way or for not voting can be called vote buying. Vote buying is a corrupt election practice. A vote buying bribe is that having a monetary value. The practice of vote buying is banned in United States. Vote buying is a threat to the conduct of fair elections. In the U.S. vote buying is an offence when a person knowingly or willfully gives false information or conspires with another individual for the purpose of encouraging his false registration to vote or illegal voting, or pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $ 10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. This provision shall only by applicable to general, special, or primary elections (42 USCS § 1973i(c)).
Bloomberg and the group of operatives doing this have stated it is for garnishing more votes for Biden.....the monetary value is the paying off of fines and restitution. The left is becoming more and more the party of lawlessness, as they now deem this as ok. You heard that rich Republicans, bring on the money....they do it, so let us also.
Nice try. They may be doing it for Biden's benefit, but you cannot say that they are paying for these people to vote for Biden. You can infer that, but inference doesn't have legal standing.From uslegal.com:
