Billionaire Mike Bloomberg has paid off $20million in debt for more than 31,000 felons in Florida so that they can vote in the state where just 537 votes decided the presidential election in 2000.
The former Democratic presidential candidate stepped in to help felons who have completed their prison sentences so they can vote on November 3.
Bloomberg, who is worth more than $50billion, raised more than $20million to assist in his endeavor while also pledging $100million to help Joe Biden win Florida.
'We know to win Florida we will need to persuade, motivate and add new votes to the Biden column. This means we need to explore all avenues for finding the needed votes when so many votes are already determined,' Bloomberg said in a written statement.
'The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and no American should be denied that right. Working together with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, we are determined to end disenfranchisement and the discrimination that has always driven it,' the statement added.
A Bloomberg adviser told the Washington Post: 'Mike wanted to get this done for two reasons. One, because it’s the right thing to do for the democracy. And two, because it immediately activates tens of thousands of voters who are predisposed to vote for Joe Biden.'
The move comes just days after Florida Gov Ron DeSantis won a court victory to keep felons from voting until they've paid off fines, restitution and court fees.

“Walking around money” in the big city wards used to run a bit cheaper.
Crime pays.
Why isn’t this illegal vote-buying?
Bloomberg is very dangerous, sort of a miniature SorozNazi.
they both must be stopped
Has to be illegal.
Nobody would question where Bloomberg is getting his money from, because he’s supposedly spending his own money.
Supposedly.
It is what they do best.
How is this NOT illegal?
“Tom Fitton? Please pick up the White Courtesy Phone in the Lobby!”
He certainly has the mind of a criminal.
Will Bloomberg also supply those criminals with weapons after buying a government that will disarm law abiding Americans?
There’s no one left in the cemeteries so now the Dems are targeting the Prisons ,LOL
Everything Bloomberg has touched has lost - I was looking forward to him trashing another 100 million dollars. However this is clearly highly illegal.
Maybe he is laundering the money for good old mayhem maker Georgy Boy Soros. For some people any step closer to produce a paradise similar in nature to Venezuela or Cuba makes the effort worth while.
Good comparisons. Soros the KAPO and Bloomberg the Friend of Criminals.
Now hopefully people in Florida will keep an eye on those whose debts he paid off and see how many go back to crime, and how many people they rape, cripple or kill.
Little weasel you know what. Hope one day you get eaten by your own
Isn’t this literally PAYING for votes???
That is not legal.
sick
I’m for this.
His money used to pay retribution to victims, and fines to the state.
I don’t think it will make a difference in votes either.
Of course if he’s illegally selecting donees on the basis of race, creed, etc then he should be put in jail.
