How Trump Votes in Florida Despite Felony Conviction
TL;DR
Former President Trump was able to vote in Florida despite his 34 felony convictions in New York because Florida law only disqualifies voters if their felony conviction would also make them ineligible in the state where they were convicted. In New York, voting rights are restored upon release from incarceration, and Trump has not yet been sentenced. Florida permanently revokes voting rights only for those convicted of murder or sexual abuse.
