There's evidence that they were specifically seeking out black and Hispanic felons, under the belief that such people are more likely to vote Democrat.

That's at least 32,000 felonies. Another section says that it's a felony to pay someone to register to vote but even if they try to wiggle out of the "register" part, even trying to influence someone's vote is still a felony. Every felon who accepted having their debt paid has (under another section) also committed a felony because they have accepted money in return for an influence over their vote.
Florida's AG and some Republican senators have called for an investigation into Mr. Bloomberg over these allegations. It would be amazing if this arrogant guy went to jail over this.
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has reportedly raised more than $16 million in an effort to help convicted felons in Florida register to vote.
The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition estimated Bloomberg's fundraising push has already paid off monetary obligations for 32,000 felons, Axios reported.
