I have no problem with people who complete their sentences voting again. Even getting the RKBA back in non-violent. But I also did some reading up on this and less than 10% ex-cons who can vote actually do. And not overwhelmingly DemocRAT when they do. Bloomingburg is welcome to throw his money away.
Cool. I know a felon who can’t wait to vote for President Trump. (no not me)
Doesn’t this smell of the old practice of buying votes? Legal?
No one is talking about the fact that vote buying is illegal.
“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)).
There are state specific laws that ban vote buying.
The following is an example of a state statute (Kentucky) on vote buying:
KRS § 117.030 (2) provides that the State Board of Elections shall provide for the conspicuous placement of signs at all precinct polling places, which shall state that vote buying and selling are illegal and shall state the penalties for such acts.”

Bloomberg’s $120,000,000 could have provided a lot of scholarships to kids in Florida.
Everything this putz does backfires.
I guess he did something right to become a billionaire but that is not in the recent past.
The guy’s a baboon.
And anything GOOD that he said or did as mayor...he apologized for while running for president.
jerk
I want attorney general William Barr to investigate if Michael Bloomberg is “buying votes.”
Why does this wealthy runt hate Americans?
In short - our state would have burned and been looted... and been a democrat hellhole.
What records will the IRS get over these payments???
And planted a lot of trees to combat “climate change” that he was supposedly so passionate about during his ill fated campaign.
You’d have to establish a direct quid pro quo between Bloomberg and the ex-cons whose debts he pays. You’d have to show that he agreed to pay for them if they voted for Biden/Democrats.
It’s all over the news that this is why he did it. Not proof enough?
How much money did he actually put into anyone’s pocket? Where is the evidence that anyone agreed to vote Democratic in return for what they were paid?
Bet it is being investigated and a case is being put together right now. Give it time to play out...
Any law enforcement agency can make a referral to the FBI. Doesn’t mean that anything will come of it.
Point is, it is far too soon to claim that there is no evidence or proof right? They will offer a reward and a whistle blower or two will come forward. And I hope so...
Wish in one hand...
