Bloomberg Pays Fines of 32,000 Florida Felons to Vote

In the 2018 midterm, more than 1.5 million Floridians regained the right to vote when a successful ballot initiative reversed a Jim Crow–era law by restoring access to the ballot to ex-felons. But the largest act of enfranchisement since the passage of the 26th Amendment was largely blocked by Florida Republicans; they passed legislation in 2019 which requires these new voters to pay off any court fines and fees related to their offenses before they can register to vote.....

Mike Bloomberg is about to become more influential than ever before.

Insofar as Mike Bloomberg actually wanted to become president of the United States, his run at the Democratic nomination was a historically expensive flop—a John Carter–like bomb in which he spent $600 million of his own money flooding the country with field offices and ads, before failing to win a single state on Super Tuesday (he did nab American Samoa) and dropping out. Along the way, the whole country got to learn about Bloomberg’s (alleged) history of grotesque sexism, which came to a head during two cringe-y debate performances during which Sen. Elizabeth Warren surgically removed his dignity in front of a live national audience. The former New York mayor officially ended his candidacy and endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden, the race’s new front-runner, on Wednesday, and speaking to a crowd of his supporters, he choked up. “I’m sorry we didn’t win,” he said, “but it’s still the best day of my life and tomorrow is going to be even better.” It was the world’s least convincing Lou Gehrig impression. ....

Trump accuses Bloomberg of 'illegally buying' Democratic nomination | TheHill

President Trump on Tuesday accused former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg of trying to “illegally” buy the Democratic nomination for president, taking aim at the billionaire businessman’s massive self-funding operation. “What Mini Mike is doing is nothing less than a large scale illegal campaign contribution. He is ‘spreading’ money all over the place, only to have recipients of his cash payments, many former opponents, happily joining or supporting his campaign. Isn’t that called a payoff?” Trump tweeted Tuesday afternoon.
