    But: You can vote in Florida if you’re a felon in another state, and that crime is not a felony in Florida.

    Not quite.

    You can’t vote in Florida as a Florida felon. If you are convicted of a felony in another state, your eligibility to vote in Florida depends on the eligibility of felons to vote in the state in which you were convicted.

    Trump was convicted of felonies in New York State. New York State allows convicted felons to vote. Therefore, Trump is eligible to vote in Florida.

      New York State allows convicted felons to vote

      They allow convicted felons to vote after they served their sentence, or, through this colorful technicality, before they’ve been sentenced.
