No, Bloomberg does not have anything to fear from claims of bribery or trying to buy votes. As long as this policy is applied to anyone who applies for it regardless of any stated voting intention. It is not illegal for political parties to provide rides to the voting booth as long as they offer it to anyone who asks and do not try to influence the voter.
In this case Bloomberg is making a guess as to the voting intentions of this group, but there is nothing illegal about this guess as long as there is no quid pro quo either stated or implied.
- Arnt 6y agoIsn't this basically the same as offering disabled or infirm people a lift to the polling place? He's spending some money on enabling some people to vote. The difference is that the resource he spends is money, instead of the use of people's time and vehicles.

It is not illegal for political parties to provide rides to the voting booth as long as they offer it to anyone who asks and do not try to influence the voter. It's very possible to offer something to everyone but ensure that "your team" makes up the bulk of the people taking up the offer.
