Why CONVICTED FELON Trump Can Still VOTE?!? - Legal AF
Carrie from Canada asked the question everyone's been thinking: Trump is a convicted felon who still owes E. Jean Carroll tens of millions of dollars and hasn't fully paid up from the Letitia James civil fraud case — so how is he legally allowed to vote? And if he IS allowed to vote, is that voter fraud?
Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson breaks down exactly why Trump can still cast a ballot, why unpaid civil judgments have nothing to do with voting rights, and — most importantly — what this reveals about a two-tiered justice system that lets wealthy felons vote freely while stripping the rights of over a million Floridians who can't afford to pay their fines. - 04/02/2026.
