Why Convicted Felon Trump Can Still Vote Today

Tuesday, November 05, 2024

Under Florida law, if a voter has an out-of-state conviction, Florida will defer to that state's laws for how a felon can regain his or her voting rights. or Trump, that means he will benefit from a 2021 New York law that allows people with felony convictions to vote as long as they're not serving a term of incarceration at the time of the election. For other Floridians with felony convictions, the rules are not so simple.

Trampy hasn't been a resident of NYS for years.

Trump is out on bond.

I hope the convicted felon loses and gets prison time when he's sentenced November 26th

Wow. Sometimes I do still get shocked at the level of hypocrisy from liberals. Liberals are the ones fighting across the country to restore the voting rights of all convicted felons. But now it's a bad thing for some reason.

I realize that you're a troll, but I'll respond anyway.

Hypocrisy was the point, republican hypocrisy. As noted in the article and the tweet from The Brennan Center for Justice right below it.

If Trump can vote so long as he's not in prison, why are so many other Floridians with past convictions who are living in the community disenfranchised?
