The SOB is a convicted felon. That means no voting

[Autumn]

for him?

[MLAA]

1. I think that kicks in only after appeal process is over.

Hopefully the appeal process is exhausted before election.

[Autumn]

2. Well that sucks. i wanted him to lose by one vote.

His.

7. I don't see where appeals apply.

Unless he wins an appeal and the case is tossed, his restriction starts now. And I think it applies for the duration of probation, which is probably going to be a year.

9. Under New York and Florida law he can vote if he isn't imprisoned..

In New York, one can vote with a criminal record if he/she:

was convicted of a misdemeanor; or is on parole; or is on probation; or was not sentenced to prison or had the prison sentence suspended; or
served the maximum prison sentence; or was pardoned.

And, according to a summary of Florida voting rights prepared by the ACLU, the Florida voting rights of a person convicted of a felony outside Florida are governed by the state where the person was convicted.

It is far from clear that he'll be sentenced to prison and even if he is, it is likely that sentence will be stayed while he appeals. Thus, it is more likely than not that he'll be able to vote.

3. Up to the state he votes in.

[questionseverything]

4. Abc news said since it's the lowest level felony he could still vote in New York

But I thought he lived in Florida so it seems unclear

[NutmegYankee]

8. He'd need to register in NY.

Florida is one of the last states with a felon ban.

5. Per abc person,

since he’s a resident of Florida, Florida law defers to state where the trial was. Some convicted felons can vote, depends on what state of New York decides, iirc.

[LiberalFighter]

6. He has to be in prison.

[mysteryowl]

10. Wow! good point!!!

[obamanut2012]

11. DeSantis will make a special law for him in Florida

Probably let him mail in a ballot.

I am serious.

[onenote]

13. Florida law says he can vote if he could vote in New York. And New York law suggests he can vote

at least until such time as he begins serving a prison sentence, which almost certainly won't happen any time soon, if ever.

[Autumn]

14. How can he vote in NY if Floriduh is his home state?

[onenote]

15. Let me clarify.

Whether someone domiciled and registered to vote in Florida is entitled to vote after being convicted out of state depends on whether, had he been a resident of that state, he would be allowed to vote.

Put another way:the Florida voting rights of a person convicted of a felony outside Florida are governed by the state where the person was convicted.

17. I see. Thanks for the explanation.

[magicarpet]

12. trDUMP as a convicted felon now needs to turn in all his machine guns, AR-15s, AK-47s, sawed off shot guns, and,...

.... various assorted hand guns ?

Correct ?

[onenote]

16. Under the Bruen precedent, that's not clear.

[NanaCat]

18. NO IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT

Good grief, try--TRY--to learn what the facts are.

Namely, that Florida allows felons with out-of-state convictions to vote IF THEIR CONVICTING STATE ALLOWS THEM TO VOTE, AND NY ALLOWS FELONS TO VOTE IF THEY ARE NOT IN PRISON. That means someone on probation, or who received a suspended sentence, can vote.

You are over your skis to a mortifying degree if you think probation is a long shot for him, when it's the most likely case.

[Autumn]

19. I try--TRY--to be nice when I respond or ask a question. I am not a lawyer, nor do I pretend to be one.

I simply asked if he is a convicted felon can he still vote. Don't get too upset. Others were kind and politely informed me of the legal details.
