" "[Under Florida law] it’s a third-degree felony for someone to either directly or indirectly provide something of value to impact whether or not someone votes," Gaetz explained. "So the question is whether or not paying off someone’s fines and legal obligations counts as something of value, and it clearly does."

But paying off the fines is not impacting whether they vote.  It's impacting whether they are eligible to vote.  There's no quid pro quo.  They don't have to vote to get their fines paid off.

It's a despicable thing to do regardless of its legality.

I can't believe anyone would support a party that openly admits it wants the lowest of the low to vote for them. The Party of Pandering.
