Can you establish a direct connection between Bloomberg and any ex-con who may now vote now that their fines/fees have been paid? If there’s no clear, provable quid pro quo, what kind of case can anyone make? These individuals will be free to vote for any candidate they choose, or not at all.

That might be true if Bloomberg was a random individual but he was a Democrat presidential candidate.

Again, the key is "intent." By stating clearly that his expectation is that 95% of these black voters will vote for Biden, his intent is clear. At least that's the explanation I've heard...

I'm not a lawyer, so there's that... :)
