Turns out Mike Bloomberg is dead serious about Joe Biden winning Florida

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Joe Biden has numerous electoral college paths to victory, while Donald Trump only has a few. Nearly all of Trump’s handful of paths go through Florida. Mike Bloomberg, who promised to spend big in support of the Democratic nominee, is making good on that promise by spending $100 million or more in Florida. But now he’s taking things even further.

The Republicans in Florida are desperate to keep felons from voting, in yet another GOP attempt at voter suppression. To that end, they’ve rigged things such that felons can only vote if they pay off whatever fines or court costs they might owe. Because many of these would-be voters are Black and Hispanic, the Republicans are counting on this stunt costing the Democrats a large chunk of voters in Florida.

But now Mike Bloomberg and his team are paying off the fines of more than thirty thousand Black and Hispanic voters in Florida, freeing them up to vote. This could make the difference if Florida ends up being close. This comes after LeBron James rolled out a similar multimillion dollar effort in Florida.
