1. Yo, Rand, cue up the Mike Bloomberg admissions — the Hunter Biden ones are meant for the other post?

2. Unfortunately Bloomberg has two get out of jail free cards: he’s rich and more importantly he’s a leftist.

3. Corruptly influencing a vote is a 3rd degree felony in Florida, punishable by up to five years in prison. Taking money or anything else in return for a vote is a 4th degree felony, however I don’t think such charges would stick because there’s no way all the felons were even contacted.

   1. Fla. Stat. § 104.061

      (1) Whoever by bribery, menace, threat, or other corruption whatsoever, either directly or indirectly, attempts to influence, deceive, or deter any elector in voting or interferes with him or her in the free exercise of the elector’s right to vote at any election commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084 for the first conviction, and a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084, for any subsequent conviction.

      (2) No person shall directly or indirectly give or promise anything of value to another intending thereby to buy that person’s or another’s vote or to corruptly influence that person or another in casting his or her vote. Any person who violates this subsection is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. However, this subsection shall not apply to the serving of food to be consumed at a political rally or meeting or to any item of nominal value which is used as a political advertisement, including a campaign message designed to be worn by a person.

   2. DeSantis is probably just the sort of guy who would cause the charges to be filed, too

   3. As I understand it, Boomburg is simply paying off the paperwork felons in Florida are required to do in order to become legal voters again. He’s not “buying” their votes, just making it possible for a demographic that votes 90 percent Democrat to register their choices.

      1. It is my understanding that the recipients of those payments must report it as taxable income

         1. Obligatory reference to The Big Lebowski scene where the Jeff Bridges character retrieves his trashed car from the police impound lot:

            Taxable income?

            Yeah, we have four more IRS agents assigned to the case. They have us working shifts!

            Yeah, taxable income!

      2. He paid something like $17 million dollars to cover their debts in order to influence how they vote, or that they vote. See the above Florida law on how that is a felony.

      3. Don’t be a smart boy, please!
