Bloomberg raises millions to help Florida felons vote









TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Just days after after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis won a court victory to keep felons from voting until they've paid off fines, restitution and court fees, billionaire Mike Bloomberg has stepped in to help them pay off the debts.

Bloomberg also has pledged $100 million to help Joe Biden win Florida.

A federal appellate court ruled on Sept. 11 that in addition to serving their sentences, Florida felons must pay all fines, restitution and legal fees before they can regain their right to vote. The case could have broad implications for the November elections. Florida has 29 electoral college votes that are crucial to President Donald Trump’s hopes of staying in the White House.
Under Amendment 4, which Florida voters passed overwhelmingly in 2018, felons who have completed their sentences would have voting rights restored. Republican lawmakers then moved to define what it means to complete a sentence.
In addition to prison time served, lawmakers directed that all legal financial obligations, including unpaid fines and restitution, would also have to be settled before a felon could be eligible to vote.
The Florida Rights Restitution Council had raised about $5 million before Bloomberg made calls to raise almost $17 million more, according to Bloomberg advisers, who weren't authorized to speak on the record because the announcement hadn't been made yet.
The money is targeted for felons who registered to vote while the law was in question and who owe $1,500 or less. That accounts for about 31,100 people, Bloomberg advisers say. In a state that decided the 2000 presidential election by 537 votes, that could be critical in a year when polls show Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden in a dead heat.
Organizers for the group say they aren't targeting people registered with a particular political party.
“To hell with politics, to hell with any other implications or inuations, at the end of the day it's about real people, real lives, American citizens who want to be a part of this,” said Desmond Meade, the group's executive director. “People with felony convictions have had their voices silenced for so long.”
The Florida Rights Restitution Council said other donors include John Legend, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, MTV, Comedy Central, VH1, Ben & Jerry’s, Levi Strauss & Co., the Miami Dolphins, the Orlando Magic, the Miami Heat and Stephen Spielberg.





'Shorty' bloomie is casting his millions in ways to try to subvert the Florida election.

His TDS and hatred runs strong!
Typical of DPST agenda - empty prisons, give criminals rights - as long as they Vote DPST
if the DPST's thought the criminals would vote republican - they would be raising Riots and arson in Florida to prevent one of their pet Plantation groups - Criminals - from obtaining the Vote.

i approve of criminals completely discharging their legal sentences before consideration of restoration of 'Rights" - which are actually an earned privilege - earned with the blood and deaths of hundreds of thousands of US soldiers who served and protected out freedoms.

something the DPST's dismiss with history cancellation and contempt of our military men and women.

So - DPST's let out criminals to run riot, and murder and rape - like the illegal released who killed the woman on the SanFran nan pier- lauded by the DPST press as a hero of the migration of the oppressed to America - so they can be oppressed and vote Democrat. For welfare and free stuff. on teh DPST plantation - where millions of blacks have been oppressed in DPST run shit-hole cities for centuries. On their Plantation.

Let Bloomie give away his china earned money - in service to comrade Xi - who like Castro and the boatlift that emptied his prisons into florida - Xi is financing the same thing - releasing criminals to afflict florida.

DPST's do love their Comrades Xi and Putin - their Heroes!
