    Are Democrats Buying Felons' Votes?

    You decide. In my opinion, when you pay someone's fees, which then enables them to vote -- you're probably expecting them to vote in agreement with you. If Republicans started giving away $1,000 gift cards to entice unregistered voters to register, would they be trying to convince them to vote GOP?

    Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has reportedly raised more than $16 million in an effort to help convicted felons in Florida register to vote.


    The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition estimated Bloomberg's fundraising push has already paid off monetary obligations for 32,000 felons, Axios reported.

    MTV, Comedy Central and VH1 announced they will be making a joint $250,000 donation to pay off fines, fees and restitution in an effort to increase voter access for young people in Florida.

    -----------


    “This announcement is a continuation of our legacy in both increasing voter access for young people, and also our continuing commitment to racial justice,” said Erika Soto Lamb, vice president of social impact for ViacomCBS, told WLRN-FM in Miami on Friday.


    “The fines can range anywhere from $200 to more than $1,000. We have estimated that at least 1,250 people will be able to vote this year because of the contribution that we’re making,” Soto Lamb added.

    I don’t understand. Are you mad at the GOP for not thinking of it first?

    Creative thinking by the democrats. As long as it's legal there shouldn't be any issues with it. It's election year and both sides are going to do whatever it takes to win.

    Its vote buying. Back home in Louisiana Dems would use buses to go to poor neighborhoods. They handed out $5 when people got on the bus. Drove to the polls. And handed people $20 when they were dropped off.

    I wonder about the taxes owed on this. Someone gives your money, it's taxable.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    Devious? How does it hurt me? I don't agree that felons should have their voting rights stripped.

    That is a good question. I think in NY it has to be over a certain amount to be liable for taxes but I'm sure or at least hope they thought about that ahead of time.
