Re: US election thread?
LeBron helps pay off millions of fines to allow Florida felons to vote. It was around $27mill in court fines. This is just court fines, and legal fees and nothing else that blocked these people from voting. Just money.
It was fronted by businessman Michael Bloomberg with the help of LeBron and other celebrities. Big swing state too.
Just to let people know, in 2018 Florida made it now legal for felons to vote who have completed all terms of the sentence. But the Republican Gov made "all terms of the sentence" include legal financial obligations including fines, fees and restitution. So these 13,000 people who can now vote were only not eligible to vote because of legal fees that were unpaid. Likely ones who couldn't afford it and not just not paying. This is a big assumption on my part tho.
LeBron contributed $100,000, which would allow 50ppl to vote (roughly $2,000 in fees per person).
