Lebron James and the Florida Rights Restoration are reportedly sending text messages to residents for the purpose of forwarding them to convicted felons, according to Outkick the Coverage.
Outkick reported that James and the group are offering to pay for fines and fees so felons can vote for Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election. The website obtained a screenshot on Monday.
Back in June, James launched a group called “More Than A Vote” to “fight Black voter suppression and excite minority voters across the nation.”
James sent out another message on Twitter retweeting “More Than A Vote” saying that, “This is SYSTEMIC RACISM and OPPRESSION.”
In a Daily Wire story that was posted on Monday, James was quoted saying, “Black people in the community don’t believe that their vote matters.”

Voter Suppression at it’s finest. If these people can legally vote they should be allowed to legally vote. They are being prevented from voting because they have outstanding fees and the new law requires all fees to be paid in order to vote and they don’t even need to tell them how much they owe.
Tracy Ann James Tough. Pay the fines.
Tracy Ann James You have no problem with buying votes?
Marsha – Apparently you didn’t read the article so I’ll summarize. Florida is not legally required to tell them what they owe. A little hard to fully pay a fine if you can’t even figure out how much you owe.
Marsha – This is not buying votes. This is paying off someone’s fine so they can legally vote however way they want to vote. It’s Florida, I’m guessing more than half will vote red. There is no quid pro quo.
Tracy Ann James It is buying votes. This is something the state should address, but I’m of the opinion felons should not be allowed to vote ever. If voting was so important to them they shouldn’t have committed the crime. I guess you are for mass mailing and denying in person voting? Any way to illegitimately steal an election.
Marsha: I believe in the constitution. I also won’t play the game of “whataboutisms”. Instead, I will stay on topic with this specific discussion. If a Felon has done their time, and paid their fine, their voter restrictions are lifted. You don’t have to like it but that is how it works.
Tracy Ann James I was giving my opinion. I know that. However, Florida law says you cannot directly or indirectly persuade or influence a person’s vote. You can’t seriously claim paying someone’s fine wouldn’t influence their vote. You didn’t answer me whether you are ok with Democratic efforts to steal the election? Such as Murphy denying voting in person? Ok with you? Buying votes.
Marsha: I did answer you. I clearly said I was not going to play your game about whataboutisms and instead staying on topic with this specific post – the fines. There are people on both sides yelling at each other about the other side trying to steal an election. If the fine is stopping them from voting, and someone wants to pay it, let them pay it. Who cares. The state makes their money and the person gets to vote (who knows if they will even bother to vote).
Tracy Ann James What part of illegal don’t you get? Don’t you want FAIR elections?
Tracy Ann James It’s been fun. Have a nice day. Hope your vote counts legally as they all should.
Tracy Ann James Except they HAVENT paid their fines and restitution. That is the whole point. Their debt to society is still outstanding, therefore they are not entitled to vote. Simple as that.
Matt Tottle – Good Morning, Matt. Did you take the time to read the article I posted? I know its long but it does provide important information including that the state of Florida isn’t required to disclose the full amount due which makes it extremely difficult to pay off the fines to be eligible to vote.
Felon Voting Rights: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/felon-voting-rights.aspx
Tracy Ann James i dont give a flying fųck to be honest. If they havent made any payments on $25,000 restitution, they arent in any danger of overpaying.
Matt: #GoodTalk
Tracy Ann James #bedwetter
This is bribery … and I’m not certain this is 100% legal?
Karen Ann The headline was incorrect; no candidate is being endorsed over another. This is merely giving ex-felons an opportunity to vote.
Karen Ann “Voter Suppression at it’s finest. If these people can legally vote they should be allowed to legally vote. They are being prevented from voting because they have outstanding fees and the new law requires all fees to be paid in order to vote and they don’t even need to tell them how much they owe.”
Stick to playing, jwh
Sounds and looks like a crime to me
Robert Zawada “Voter Suppression at it’s finest. If these people can legally vote they should be allowed to legally vote. They are being prevented from voting because they have outstanding fees and the new law requires all fees to be paid in order to vote and they don’t even need to tell them how much they owe.”
Stop voter suppression then you wouldn’t have to worry about people aiding the poor to make sure they vote. When a person is released from their sentence after paying their debt to society they have have to find work immediately and in some cases if they don’t they go back to jail. So once a person finds work becomes a constructive member of the community they couldn’t vote. But they still have to pay taxes…..remember the Boston tea party? No taxation without representation? I wonder how much taxes the government took from ex cons who changed that can’t vote. So yeah thanks lebron for paying the bill for those that have minimal jobs because remember you can get a decent job with a record. So thanks for help them ????
Terrence Dean Yeah their “debt to society” also includes their fines, restitution, et al. This absolutely amounts to buying votes, amd there should absolutely be an investigation into everyone that does it, including Bloomberg.
I’ve seen parents especially white parents pay their kids fines at court so wytb… doesn’t matter who paid the fine just long as it’s paid. How many ppl on here paid a kid of theirs tickets????? ALOT
Terrence Dean sure, but these people are not their parents and sure as hell wouldn’t do this any other time. The jails would be empty
If the fine is paid they can vote! Fym don’t matter where the money comes from as long as it is paid. Y’all are just mad they can vote fuck yall
Terrence Dean let’s be honest now. Why are Bloomberg and Lebron focusing on voting rights for felons just in Florida?? Why not pay the fines in the other states that follow the same policy that Florida does. I mean, they are being suppressed as well. Why is Florida so special…..it couldn’t be cause Florida is a swing state right?? ????
Colie Hayes Pypcznski Are there any other coalitions in other states, or could it be that this is this the first and only coalition of its kind to donate?
Ronald L Poveda does a coalition need to be started in the other 10 states that follows the same policy for felon voting like Florida? Can’t celebes, atheltes, politicans just pay those tabs as well? But those states aren’t swing states so the purpose of paying for felons doesn’t meet their bias motive. Now let’s you and I be real, you really think these 1%ers that are donating for the “cause” really care about the “suppressed voters” or is it cause they despise Trump that much. I mean Bloomberg gave Harris/Bidden administration $100 million donation for Florida. There is a motive, and its not to help black/Hispanic felon voters. Its a politically motivated method to win Florida
Ronald L Poveda I also appreciate having a non name calling conversation. Its rare ! Lol
Ocean county scammer news. Doin it’s part to stoke the fires
Linda Lowerre-Cordani As a Top Fan you should know that is not the truth.
This is current news being covered by many news networks
Linda Lowerre-Cordani i guess what LeBron and all the other overpaid assclowns are doing is ok in your book?
Linda I Agree I’ve seen more than one piece that they’ve posted that creates division. I am unfollowing this page
I agree between this page and the Fox5. Page idk what’s worse at creating division
Yeah but people come to this page for “Ocean County” news, not national news. Know your audience.
Nadine Zeccola-Elvins This Isn’t An Airport, no need to announce your departure
Linda Lowerre-Cordani https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/sports/lebron-james-offering-pay-felons-fines-vote-election.amp
Terrence Dean division is created by garbage like LeBron james buying votes . What is wrong with the left that laws no longer matter in this country.
Linda Lowerre-Cordani
Derek J Eldridge then maybe laws shouldn’t be changed to fit the current administrations Paranoia. They add a law that unless you pay your fines you cannot vote? Even though you have legally paid your debt to society by being incarcerated. Sounds like a voting tax to me. Which is illegal. Noone is buying votes. They are giving people who have already paid for their crimes a chance to vote. And yes. They should have that right if they have “done their time”. Wtf does it have to do with payment of a fine? Ok. Let’s go scammers. Stoke it up!
Derek J Eldridge and your point is?
Lynette Marie do you have any idea what lebron and the other ass clowns do for the underprivileged in this country? I’ll take those ass clowns everyday all day.
Hey ocean county scammer news, why isn’t there any information on governor DESANTIS trying to pass a law that’s it’s ok to run through protesters with your car? Or that the reason lebron and others are paying these fines is because DESANTIS is trying to promote voter suppression?? Not factual enough? Isn’t there enough bullshit happening in the new bricktucky to cover ocean counties happenings?
Linda Lowerre-Cordani Didn’t one of governors do the same exact thing for 32,000 criminals?!?!
Ocean County Scanner News keep doing your thing. Screw the haters. I live about 3 hours from where I will always consider home; Bayville, NJ. Keep doing you thing.
Linda Lowerre-Cordani as a real top fan I don’t approve of your comment. Lebum is a clown.
Melissa Ann bloomberg is the only politician I’m aware of that us doing this
Linda Lowerre-Cordani But he still did it. 32,000 criminals. Let that sink in.
Nadine Zeccola-Elvins bye
Melissa Ann 32,000 people who paid their debt to society by fulfilling their sentence. They should be treated as such. Let that sink in.
Linda Lowerre-Cordani That’s great if it’s done for the right reasons. But yet again, it comes down to race. He only did it for black and latino people. Why? Because he’s trying to help Biden win certain communities in critical states. He didn’t do it out of the goodness of his heart. He did it for dirty political gain.
Linda Lowerre-Cordani actually this is true. There are several people doing it. It’s illegal and it’s being investigated
Nadine Zeccola-Elvins it’s the truth. You may not like it, but it’s the truth. Bye
Terrence Dean um cnn lol
BLOOMBERG DID IT TOO!!! WAKE UP AMERICA ????????
Joshua Johansson
Sounds like he is commuting a felony himself
Tina L Barone “Voter Suppression at it’s finest. If these people can legally vote they should be allowed to legally vote. They are being prevented from voting because they have outstanding fees and the new law requires all fees to be paid in order to vote and they don’t even need to tell them how much they owe.”
another p o s
Arrest his ass
Isn’t that illegal?
Elizabeth Michell DeRiggi yes
Elizabeth Michell DeRiggi Do you know it’s also not legal? A standing president not passing off the presidency if he loses
Rae Guez-Sidhom and…. what? Is that a current issue?!
Rae Guez-Sidhom yes it is so when it actually happens let us know
The fix is in.
Vote WITH me, I’ll set you free?
Well at least he and Bloomberg are confirming what we already know…Criminals are part of the Democrat base.
Isn’t that just a tad illegal? Or are they exempt?
I wonder if these overpaid assclowns would be paying fines during non election years?
Take your money and put it towards youth programs so the youths of today don’t become felons of tomorrow.
Debbie Vermeal-Clune ian adams killed a kid and was championed through this page for defying murphy. but yeah, the guy whose already paying numerous scholarships, tuition bills for students that graduated (the real cous de grace for your statement) THE FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL HE OPENED WITH HIS OWN MONEY, yeah, let’s try to drag him. you go debbie. coincidentally how many kids have you helped off their troubled path exactly?
Felons, well that goes right along with the rest of the degenerate liberals
Vincent Hatt “If these people can legally vote they should be allowed to legally vote. They are being prevented from voting because they have outstanding fees and the new law requires all fees to be paid in order to vote and they don’t even need to tell them how much they owe.”
What an Asshole.???????????? Another over paid idiot that plays with his balls.
Douche
Oh look another example of your inability to be an unbiased news source as you claim. Before you call me a bitch and delete it again, it’s The whole referring to paying fines as “buying votes”.
Rae Guez-Sidhom are you serious?!? You cannot be that ignorant to not see what he is doing or what Bloomberg is doing when paying felons fines. They are doing it swing states.
Rachel David Freer Are there another coalitions in the other swing states? Or could it be that this was an initiative started in 2018 to try and ensure voter representation for all eligible to vote?
????????
Election tampering
He did as well as Bloomberg John legend Michael Jordan …..
Asshole
That’s essentially buying votes. Paying their fines so they can legally vote, maybe ok.
But paying so they can vote for Biden is illegal.
Sharon Lynn Huber It’s the former. There was no endorsement of one candidate over another. That headline was incorrectly altered.
Illegal
Better wait and see what happens with the FBI investigation into Bloomberg doing it in Florida.
TOTALLY ILLEGAL!!! Bring charges against him and all in that group!!
Lock this douche bag up already
He has to . Isn’t that his fan base?
Where does it say anything in his message about voting for Biden?
Scott Thomas Oi! Nice profile pic, brother!
Scott Thomas do you really think hes gonna have them vote for Trump?! Come on now you dont gotta be smart to realize Lebron hates Trump.
It’s obvious lol
Justin Thomas It still didn’t say anything about endorsing one candidate over another.
Good for him. Everyone should have a voice, even those who’ve made mistakes.
Mark Haelig so good for Lebron for getting felons out of prison to vote only because he wants to get Trump out of office? Lol you liberals sink to new lows everyday
Justin Thomas It didn’t say anything about endorsing one candidate over another. This was incorrectly added in the headline.
Ronald L Poveda lol do you really gotta question who hes gonna have them vote for? Lebron hates Trump. It’s not difficult to come to the conclusion that they will be voting Biden
Oh what’s the matter Ocean County Scanner News? Have your little panties wodded up in your vagina? Please explain how this lawful action has anything to do with Ocean County or anything on the scanner or Broadcastify? #douchebag
Karen go back to bed…. The thing you happen to not understand is when you have a page or Group on Facebook you can post or say anything you please. Nobody comes onto your page and tells you what you can and can’t post
Craig Saltarelli Whatever you say Adolf. #sad
Ha ha .. Get it right it’s Gorbachev….
Craig Saltarelli No, you’re a nazi snowflake who’s melting because somebody is doing nothing more than following the law. #sad
King Hashtag …. No when you have athletes paying fines for scumbags when we have homeless and starving people in this country it shows the true color of these people. The best part is half of the NBA probably are the scumbags who’s fines are getting paid . Hashtag Karen Carter
STOKE the fires? How bout stoking the truth! Thats all this great ,quirky page does!If a post hits,a nerve…
This guy seems to be in everything
Needs Go Jail
Perfect, now lock him up for election interference
Danny Scarpati For what reason? There was no endorsement of one candidate over another.
Racist
Unless you can prove an expectation of voting a certain way as part of the deal, its no different than if someone they know paying the fine for them. Lindsey Graham could pay my student loans off and I still wouldn’t vote for him.
Paying for votes….not legal.
Tammy Clermont Paying for the chance to vote? There’s no endorsement of one specific candidate over another.
Ronald L Poveda hahahahaha
Piece of shit elitist thug bought and paid for by the ChiComs.
POS
The Florida Attorney General has already started an investigation into former New York City Mayor Bloomburg for his participation for doing the same thing, which is against the law in Florida. The felons must pay off all his own fines, fee’s and restitution’s on their own.
Ridiculous. I guess they have so much money they can’t think of a better way to use it
