    Editors at the Washington Times highlight former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's efforts to tip the presidential election toward Democrat Joe Biden.

  • "By any means necessary" is a battle cry of the far left, coined by a Marxist philosopher on the Caribbean island of Martinique in 1960.
  • Fast-forward six decades, and the far left in the U.S. has embraced that end-justifies-the-means credo with monomaniacal gusto in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.
  • How other than "by any means necessary" can you characterize billionaire plutocrat Michael Bloomberg's plan to shovel — or bulldoze — a staggering $100 million of his own money into a crucial swing state, Florida, in the final weeks of the campaign to drag an enfeebled Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, over the finish line?
  • Mr. Bloomberg, whose net worth is north of $50 billion, likely regards that $100 million as little more than a rounding error, and he's not stopping there.
  • Separately, the media mogul has raised millions more to pay off the fines, court fees and restitution expenses of tens of thousands of Black and Hispanic ex-felons in Florida so they can have their right to vote restored in time for the Nov. 3 election. The deadline to register there to vote in the upcoming election is Oct. 5.
  • "We have identified a significant vote share that requires a nominal investment," Mr. Bloomberg explained in a memo cited by The Washington Post. "The data shows that in Florida, Black voters are a unique universe unlike any other voting bloc, where the Democratic support rate tends to be 90%–95%."
  • As of last week, his fundraising on behalf of the nominally nonpartisan Florida Rights Restoration Coalition (FRRC) had topped $16 million.
  • That could buy a lot of Florida votes for Mr. Biden. According to TampaBay.com, "Most [ex-felons] owe between $500 and $5,000" in fines, fees and restitution to fully complete their sentences after prison and probation or parole.
