Or they could pay a bunch of felons to vote for Trump.This has been a topic for nearly a year...specifically Bloomberg paying off the fines of the ex-felons. I wondered if that would be logistically or even legally possible and, well, I guess I have my answer.
Now Republicans have to figure out how to disenfranchise those 32,000 voters.

So you are arguing it isn't illegal, so its okay? Why do you hate Trump again? Your conclusion is ironic.If someone committed a crime by doing something unethical (but not specifically illegal), then more than half of the US population (and more than 75% of the US politicians [and more than 99% of the current Presidents of the United States of America]) would have committed that crime.

I don't really care that much. I have lived my life for the most part. I feel sorry for the younger people who will inherit this mess.Well that's the best part: you can pay off the fines yourself and see how they vote!
Thats all this group is paying. They are not paying restitution only fees and fines, same as what you can get for more minor offenses.And you know that the court fees are the only thing left in all the cases? I mean you are asserting it, can you back the claim up?
No it isnt. No one is required to or even being asked to vote in exchange for their fines to be paid. There is no offer because they simply paid the fines for those people.It is if he pays only the fines for people of color.
Why? If some poor sap is spending time in jail for a minor drug possession offence, what's the problem with letting him/her out?Anyone thinking this was a good idea is an idiot. Let the posts previously define the idiots.
Bloomberg is looking like he is in a lot of trouble.
Stupid post. Rapists don't get fines to be paid off. This is about minor offences; those you get fined for.So child rapists that have been freed on parole should have a voice in our elections?
If you have paid your debt to society you are no longer a criminal. You are effectively 'reset'.So now the dems are depending on criminals to win the vote for them... how appropriate.
You like criminals. We get it already.If you have paid your debt to society you are no longer a criminal. You are effectively 'reset'.
Oh please. Is a guy locked up because he didn't pay his parking tickets equivalent to a rapist? Try to understand what the word 'perspective' means, apply it to your posts and maybe they won't look so stupid.You like criminals. We get it already.

If the crime committed was non-violent, why not? You do understand that Bloomberg is paying people's fines for minor offences, not bailing violent offenders out?Thus should then be able to legally possess a gun.
Kamala Harris likes rapists and violent criminals too. Pays to put them back on the street fund raising for them. Says that the police who arrested them should be eliminated. That seems inconsistent with her past practice of deliberately sending innocent black men to prison to brag about doing so politically.

Agree fully. When one completes a sentence they should have full rights restored. If they are too dangerous to have their rights restored than they are too dangerous to let out of prison.
Those that you get fined for-like unpaid traffic tickets. Those are not felonies but misdemeanours. Do you honestly think rapists and murderers get fined, because that's the gist of the arguments presented by some of our more hysterical contributors here. Bloomberg is paying fines for poor saps jailed for having a joint, not bailing out violent criminals.The FL law applies only to convicted felons - not folks realized on bail pending trial. Which felonies do you consider to be minor?
Possession of 25 grams of marijuana is one. Possession of any other drugs.The FL law applies only to convicted felons - not folks realized on bail pending trial. Which felonies do you consider to be minor?

And honestly, some others can be considered "minor" in some circumstances.

But they are still subject to the same laws/rules that keep other felons from voting and their legal fees and fines may very well be about the same because they arent from the crime itself, but rather administrative costs of trying them.I agree that contraband possession should not be a felony, but that (what should or should not be a felony) is a different issue.
No. Victim restitution is separate and the reports have said the group does not pay restitution owed.Yes, those “fines” are often court mandated victim restitution and/or paying accrued (missed) child support payments.
