That is, incentives could be offered fo a voter in a way that would be designed to directly or indirectly cause the voter ora larger group of voters to vote in a particular manner. In such a case, the person giving the incentive could be guilty of violating section 104.061, Florida Statutes, which makes it illegal to “directly or indirectly give or promise anything of value to another in casting his or her vote.” DE 16-02, at 3 (footnote and citation omitted), After preliminarily reviewing this limited public information and law, it appears further investigation is warranted.

Desmond Meade, the group's president std the group doesnot share Bloombergs goal of empowering only one politcal side inthe ‘upcoming lection,"Different people may give for different reasons, but we aren this for one reason and that reason, isto place people oer polities,” Meade said. "Weare concerned with people fom all walks fife, from al sorts of polities” esa that through separate efforts, his organization has raised about $7 milion fom about 44,000 donors to help pay the debts of ciizens with felony’ convitions so they can return tothe voting roll The average debt, the group sai, is about $1,000. ‘ter organizing by Meade's group, Florida voters passed a statewide constitutional amendment in 2018 that gave former felons, except thse convicted of murder or felony sexual offenses, the ‘opportunity to vote in upcoming elections. The Republican-contolled legislature subsequently turn to the voting rolls passed, and the Republican governor signed, a aw that colitioncd ‘onthe payment ofall fees, fines and restitution that were part oftheir sentence. Subsequent court challenges upheld he power ofthe legislature to condition voting right on the ayn resident Trump asa possible replacement for Supreme Court justice Ruth Rader Ginsburg, cast nt of debts by former felons sdge Barbara Lagos, who is unde consideration by 2 concuring opinion on the mth Cieelt Court of Appeals upholding the state la requiting payment of debs ‘The Republican effort is expected to limit what some viewed asa politi benefit to Democrats of the constitutional change, which passed by ballot initiative with 65 pereent suppor. A study by the University of Florida found that nearly 775,000 former felons still owed money elated to ‘thee convitions and would be barred from the voting booth by the la. The vast jority are too poor to pay ther outstanding debts, according to evidence presented in court documents challenging the law Several philanthropic groups including « nonprofit founded bythe profesional basketball player LeBron James, have since committed donations to pay the oved money. The Bloomberg effort, which his aides said wil be pooled with about $5 million already ruse by the Fora Rights Restoration Coalition, is marowly focused onlyon Black and Hispanic voters who ae already eistredto vote and whose debs ae es than $1,500. Bloomberg's advisers identified that group a8 both key to vote for Biden and moe kel to vote than other groups of former felons, ‘Mike wanted to get this done fortwo reasons,” sada Bloomberg adviser, wh spoke onthe condition of anonymity to discus private conversations. "One, because i's the right thing todo for the democracy. And two, because it immediately activates tens of thousands of votes who are predisposed to vote for Joe Biden.”‘Bloomberg aides said the former New York mayor, who is worth more than $50 bilion, had raised ‘the money for this effort from others and tha the sum would not count agaist the $100 milion ‘or more he has personally commited to spend on beh of Biden in the state. ‘The Bloomberg memo pointed out thatthe 3,790 targeted voters, including 25,548 who are Black, are nearly equivalent tothe margin by hich Gow, Ron DeSantis (R) won election in 2018 and about three times big as the margin that elected Sen, Rick Seot(R-Fla) that same yer. Te sid Fords voters have largely already made up their minds about the November election, Jeaving “only small margin of voters that ate targets for persion.” “We know to win Florida we will need to persuade, motivate and add nev votes tothe Biden red column,” the document read. “This means we need to explore all avenues for finding ‘votes witen so many votes are already determined.” ‘Meade si his group would be in charge of spending the money raised by Bloomberg and wil continue fundraising to enftanchise more Floridians with felony cometions No person reilly dictates howe we are operating,” he said Election 2020; What to know Uve updates: Get te atest on the election and Supreme Court Polling from The Washington Post and ABC News Shows former vee resident Joo Bien with a narrow edge inthe key bategound state of Wisconsin and 3 vide lead in Mionesot, How to vote: Fins out tne rules inyourstate, Some states have already started sending out mail ballots; see now to make sure yours counts.
