    Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg and his team have raised more than $16 million to pay the court fines and fees of nearly 32,000 Black and Hispanic Florida voters with felony convictions, an effort aimed at boosting turnout for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden .

    full sentences are not satisfied if there are unpaid fines. That law is not exclusive to minorities .

    No but it certainly impacts them and the poor. Unlike guys who have money to pay those fines. Thus discriminatory and targeted like most repub voter rules and regs. That's the real point!

    funny thing ; Barbara Lagoa ,the wise Latina nominee while on the Florida Supreme Court supported the sentencing laws. Will the Dems play the race card on her ?

    I think you've shown you can attack policy without the race card.

    Tomorrow is one week before election day. Today Trump has scheduled 3 events in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania . Quid has nothing scheduled . Has he "put a lid " on his campaign ?

    Does Quid think he is running against George Bush . This was yesterday

    or maybe he thinks he is running against George Trump ?

    Very true - for once Trump couldn't hide the truth. We saw a four-year-old having a tantrum and stomping out to go home in tears. The few answers that he did give were riddled with lies and half truths.

    Even Pence couldn't pour honey on that pitiful performance. His staff is infected too.
