Interesting and undoubtedly a self serving interpretation. So let's parse this out and see how your view holds up.
(1) Any person who gives anything of value that is redeemable in cash to any person in consideration for his or her becoming a registered voter commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
"gives anything of value" - clearly paying off the debt of a felon using cash falls under anything of value.
"redeemable in cash to any person" - in my view eliminating someone's debt amounts to being redeemable in cash as it increases their net worth and access to additional capital. But for sure this is where they will likely argue it is not a felony.
"consideration for his or her becoming a registered voter" - this is clearly the case that it is consideration to allow them to become a registered voter.
So of all the language in the statute the only out would be the middle part. But I suspect that this would be something to argue in a trial and will not be germane to a grand jury. If they bring this to a grand jury I strongly suspect there will be indictments.
