And so, when you hear words like targeting certain voters, investing, and adding to a particular column, that doesn\u2019t matter what party it is. That triggers Florida law, which under Florida law, you cannot directly or indirectly give anything of value to persuade or entice a vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so, as attorney general \u2014 and I believe any official charged with enforcing elections law, we have to be clear about what we\u2019re doing, which is why when I asked for further investigation, I attached all the relevant law \u2014 even opinions that describe if you target even particular voters that may be predisposed to vote a particular way, that may be illegal,\u201d Moody continued. \u201cAnd, you know, Americans can judge for themselves. They need to know that those that are in charge of the elections investigations are on it. I am hopeful that the FBI also takes notice. I directed them also to consider federal law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans need to know that no stone will be left unturned, and investigations will proceed so that they can trust in these elections,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2020\/09\/24\/florida-ag-moody-on-bloombergs-16m-felon-voter-donations-you-cannot-directly-or-indirectly-give-anything-of-value-to-persuade-or-entice-a-vote\/\">https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2020\/09\/24\/florida-ag-moody-on-bloombergs-16m-felon-voter-donations-you-cannot-directly-or-indirectly-give-anything-of-value-to-persuade-or-entice-a-vote\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida AG Moody on Bloomberg\u2019s $16M Felon Voter \u2018Donations\u2019: \u2018You Cannot Directly or Indirectly Give Anything of Value to Persuade or Entice a Vote\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29544\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
