As a reminder... this rule is terrible, but, um, I think it applies here?

If Trump has to pay a bill in order to vote he may never vote again.

The rule can apparently be waived by the governor, which De Santis will certainly do and will obviously be super crass and ugly.

In Florida, for out of state convictions, it goes by the rule of the state the conviction took place in, and NY only restricts voting rights while incarcerated www.politifact.com/article/2024...

Only if convicted in Florida. If you're convicted elsewhere, it depends on the rule in the state you're convicted. NY only bars you if you're in prison.

Hopefully, Democrats will write up a bunch of voting rights and criminal reform legislation under names like "The Free Trump Voting Rights Bill".

Supposedly they defer to the rules of the state where the conviction occurred?

Florida applies the rule of the state of conviction, so per New York law Donny doesn't lose the right to vote until he's actually imprisoned.

(Yes, thanks to everyone who replied: it probably doesn't apply, because (1) Florida defaults to the state's laws where the conviction happened, and in NY you only lose voting rights if imprisoned, so only will matter if he's imprisoned in November and (2) FL governor can grant exceptions).

Florida defers to the state that convicted someone, and felons can vote once their sentence is over. Since Trump almost certainly won't see prison time he won't lose the franchise.

most likely that he'll still be able to vote unless he's literally in prison on Election Day www.politifact.com/article/2024...

Someone just told me that Florida (if that's where Trump is registered) will follow NY law (he can vote unless he's locked up), since the crime was in NY.

Yeah, that doesn't apply because it's wrong. Under Florida law, felons lose their voting rights if they have been incarcerated. Trump is unlikely to face a carceral sentence. It's possible he will, but unlikely.
