Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg has set fourth a pledge of $16 million dollars towards helping Black and Hispanic convicted felons restore their voting rights!

The money will go towards paying for court fines and fees of approximately 32,000 men who have been legally deferred from voting, reports Fox news.

That’s why this National Voter Registration Day, we’re working with @FLRightsRestore to end the disenfranchisement and discrimination that prevents returning citizens from voting. https://t.co/xiOOAZBNTX

“We know to win Florida we will need to persuade, motivate and add new votes to the Biden column,” states Bloomberg in a forwarded statement.

“This means we need to explore all avenues for finding the needed votes when so many votes are already determined.”

The statement continues, “The data shows that in Florida, Black voters are a unique universe unlike any other voting bloc, where the Democratic support rate tends to be 90%-95%.”

Reports read that Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, recently signed a bill which requires convicted felons to pay all legal and financial obligations before rendering their constitutional right to vote.
