5. From articles I read the 31,000 were the ones who registered before the deadline

And who were being threatened with removal because of fines.

But the entire situation is chaotic. It turns out, Florida has no organized method of keeping track of released prisoner's fines and fees. So a felon (or preferred language, returning citizen) is not notified that they might owe anything until the state feels like denying their voting rights. Apparently a number of people who had registered later - too late to fix the problem - were notified that they owed money.

I know that FRRC (Florida Rights Restoration Coalition) collected a lot more donations than Bloomberg gave. My sister and I both donated well after all the Bloomberg publicity.

FRRC - https://floridarrc.com/ has great information on their website.
