Rewarding is a bit of a stretch. My understanding is the people of Florida had an up down referendum on restoring voting rights to felons who’ve served their time a few years back which passed. Then the GOP down there did some maneuvering and introduced this “pay off all debts first” clause which I believe is fairly unpopular down there (although I cannot cite anything for that). Bloomberg is rectifying what many consider to be a wrong down there and reenfranchising (not a word) these 32,000 voters with this gesture. Given the incredible disparities within our criminal justice system I sincerely doubt most Black people are sitting there mad that the right to vote is being restored to these persons, especially since apparently the idea is popular enough that the referendum passed.
