    <THREAD TITLE EDITED>

    https://thehill.com/homenews/campai...-for-32000-felons-in-florida-so-they-can-vote

    There's evidence that they were specifically seeking out black and Hispanic felons, under the belief that such people are more likely to vote Democrat.

    Meanwhile: https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2018/0104.061

    That's at least 32,000 felonies. Another section says that it's a felony to pay someone to register to vote but even if they try to wiggle out of the "register" part, even trying to influence someone's vote is still a felony. Every felon who accepted having their debt paid has (under another section) also committed a felony because they have accepted money in return for an influence over their vote.

    Florida's AG and some Republican senators have called for an investigation into Mr. Bloomberg over these allegations. It would be amazing if this arrogant guy went to jail over this.

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if he got slapped with 32,000 charges?

    You know what else is funny?

    Demokrats claim they want to get money out of politics.

    Oh really?

    I hadn't heard. Welcome to TUESDAY:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...00-felons-in-florida-so-they-can-vote.578794/

    Also, the exact title of your linked article is:

    Bloomberg pays fines for 32,000 felons in Florida so they can vote

    Why are you editorializing the OP thread title with an opinion?

    There is no mention of the term "Recently Committed 32,000 Felonies", in the title of your linked article.

    If you are interested in discussing this topic (which has already been beaten to death at PF), I would also like to direct you to this thread:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...iminal-probe-for-paying-felons’-fines.578822/

    Glad to be of help. Carry on.:salute:

    republicans want to deny these people the right to vote, all Bloomberg did is give them back the right to vote, they can vote however they want

    why do Republicans want to make voting a privilege rather then a right?

    some republicans even want to make owning a gun a privilege rather then a right

    it seems it's Republicans that want to deny people the right to vote because they don't have enough money

    Yet Democrats here routinely accuse Trump of crimes that only exist in their heads.

    Yeah, right:

    Trump spent about half of what Clinton did on his way to the presidency

    This is what constitutes fake news.

    I also advise you to edit the title, as you are in violation of our forum thread creation rules.

    There are no felonies committed.

    Florida Rights Restoration Coalition is 100% a legit organization. All donations are made legally and acceptable. It’s a top notch organization that was critical in getting Amendment 4 passed.


    Why do you hate Americans?

    Lets see. I don't want to tell you how to vote or anything but I am going to pay your fine (wink wink) so you can get your vote back. Now that doesn't mean you can't vote any way you want. I'm just saying that if you were to vote just remember who paid your fine and all that good stuff. Here is a Democrat party T shirt and a Biden hat too...

    they already did that, they served their time for their crime, only thing they have left is a fine, and this non-profit helps people with that if it prevents them from voting

    Here's one of the outstanding questions.....was these potential crimes in FL....was he directed by the campaign themselves to do this? I think we need a full investigation...telephone calls, emails, text messages.....we need to know it all
