I think the democrats get much of their money from the tax payers. They have many ways of laundering their money such as charities and foundations and other do gooder money sources. Also “foreign aid” seems to be a way of splitting up the taxpayers money with corrupt foreign leaders. The corrupt people in power rob the honest and hardworking people on a daily basis. Look at what Biden and his family have been doing making billions for their greedy selves.

Bloomberg is an Eagle Scout and now he is involved with bribery. Maybe he should talk to Robert Craft about screwing around in Florida. They don’t play fair. You may walk but your name rep is shot.

Don’t felons have to apply to have privileges restored after serving their sentence?

Relax. 2/3 of those will be back in jail before you know it. 2/3 of the others will forget to vote.

“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.”

Democrats are becoming the Dallas Cowboys of political parties.

The felons need to pay off their own debts then they can vote for Trump

All I know is that some states have proposed allowing felons to vote but I don’t know if any of them have actually passed such a law.

I hope they take his money and fail to show up to vote. Criminals are not prone to be the most responsible people.

A lot of them probably don’t like illegals taking jobs THEY might get.
A lot of them know Biden’s a con man.
A lot of them probably don’t like Little Mike.

IRS goes after 31,000 felons for failure to declare income, a felony, I believe.

Florida 104.061(2), F.S. This statute reads as follows: "(2) No person shall directly or indirectly give or promise anything of value to another intending thereby to buy his or another's vote or to corruptly influence him or another in casting his vote. ..."

Blooming idiot Bloomberg just threw away millions more bucks because of at least two points, to wit: 1. De Santis is governor of Florida this election, Scott was in 2016. 2. Some experts I’ve read say that possibly as many as 20% of Democrat votes go to Trump this year. In my opinion, #1 and # 2 above mean the Democrats LOSE Florida in a not even close election. This is without counting Black votes for Trump and Latino votes for Trump.

Why isn’t this illegal? It is bribery plain and simple.

Why isn’t this illegal vote-buying?

Because it's probably illegal fine paying. It stands to reason that one cannot pay a fine for someone else anymore than he could serve prison time for another.

Lebron “I can bounce a ball” James is doing the same thing. Neither home or Bloomberg are from Florida. Everyone involved should be charged together with criminal conspiracy.

He’s paying criminals to vote. That’s against the law in Florida.

Some of the felons will get up to $1,000 in what they own paid SO THEY CAN VOTE. “Elites” and criminals both hate cops because cops cut into their fun.
