    Are Democrats Buying Felons' Votes?

    Of course they are. Just like they buy homeless votes.

    This is a sick perverted twisting of our right to vote and laws.

    Paying, helping monetarily, or bribing anyone with something of value, to register to vote, or to vote, should be completely illegal and a felony with mandatory $100k fine and 5 years in jail per charge!

    Voting is sacred and should be kept secured!
    Valid State Government or Federal Government photo ID and finger prints required!

    Also, voting and gun rights (like all other rights) should NEVER be taken away from people period, unless you get life in prison, the death penalty, are convicted of unlawful gun violence, or crimes involving voting, or its processes.

    If someone is convicted of a crime not mentioned above, does their time and restitution, and is then free to rejoin society, they should not suffer any additional, let alone permanent penalties, this includes, voting rights, gun ownership bans, and ridiculous sex offender registries.

    Nowhere was this ever envisioned by the founders or the Constitution.
    It is flat out WRONG and illegal to steal some ones rights forever, based on a past, some what minor mistake that they fully paid for.

    Of course not. The law is intended to exact a measure of responsibility from felons before their right to vote is reinstated.

    Does it border on bribery?

    That's a good point. Maybe the IRS should be notified.

    I doubt it because if it were, I'd think it would be illegal.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    I think this is a little overblown in terms of importance.
    The fines have to be paid before they can re-register in Florida.

    Who can you trust more than a Felon to actually bother to vote AFTER you have paid his fines?

    It still tells you how evil Lebron James and Mike Bloomberg actually are.

    I guess we'll find out since the Florida Attorney General has been asked to look into the matter.

    Obviously no one made them accountable for their actions then so why would they think that paying felons to vote would be a problem.
