Although Mr. Trump was convicted in New York, he’s a Florida resident residing at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.
“Florida defers to other state laws when it comes to disenfranchising voters who are tried and convicted elsewhere. … [In New York], those convicted of felonies who do not go to prison never lose their voting rights,” said Blair Bowie, director of the Campaign Legal Center’s Restore Your Vote project.
The only way Mr. Trump wouldn’t be able to vote is if New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan sends him to jail for his conviction. Sentencing is set for July 11.
The former president faces jail time or probation.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday vowed to back Mr. Trump, saying the former president “hasn’t lost his voting rights in Florida.”
“Rights are not removed in Florida where they haven’t yet been stripped in the convicting jurisdiction. That said, given the absurd nature of the New York prosecution of Trump, this would be an easy case to qualify for restoration of rights per the Florida Clemency Board, which I chair,” Mr. DeSantis said in a post on X.
He added, “The bottom line is that Donald Trump’s vote this November will be one of millions that demonstrate Florida is now a solid Republican state!”
On Thursday, a 12-member jury in New York found Mr. Trump guilty on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records, reportedly documenting money paid to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election as “legal fees” to keep her quiet about an alleged affair from a decade before.
His former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid the porn actress $130,000 not to talk to the press about the affair, which Mr. Trump denies having.

He’s going to lock Trump up. Imagine the money his daughter would make.
If they do let DJT vote, they will charge him with fraudlently voting 34 times.
And yet the Democrats want EVERY OTHER felon, prisoner and illegal alien to vote.
Wetback Merchan will do just that; he’s been paid to go all the way. Cartels cannot take a chance to let Trump walk after spending all this money to keep him off the ballot. The border must be kept open for the Cartels to survive.
Of course Merchan(t) will sentence him to jail.
The media arm of the regime wants to label Trump “that jailbird.”
Stormy signed two (2) dos, dua, II affidavits saying NO SEX TOOK PLACE. So where is the crime? What’s the “payoff” for? This is preposterous.
All I know is that the whole world is going to be watching the polls over the next two weeks. If Trump actually goes up in the polls (I’m not saying he will) then look out. Nothing is off the table for the globalists including WW3.
All BS.
These pukes practicing Lawfare are about to get an education.
Nothing they have done is constitutional. Period.
But the Communists are making up their own laws and rules.
Today, they see that they stepped in a pile of fresh hog crap.
If they are smart, they are not, they will back away from getting this all over them.
I suspect locking him up would be the one thing that would allow him to make the appeals process move at greater than glacial speed.
Just establish an address as living in the City of Detroit. Then he can vote several times as the prisoners do. Some use their last home address but the Dems want to pass a law allowing felons to vote freely. Lots and lots of them. All Dems.
Or as a local Detroit Free Press story where in the oceans of mail in ballots sent out in Michigan, a Detroit man got one for himself and one for his beloved grandfather who dies 17 years ago and used to own the house. “It would have been so easy to just fill out the choices, sign it with my grandfather’s name and drop it in the mail box with my real ballot. But I refuse to do that.”
This whole mess has GOT to stop. It’s all too awful.
Yep.
Close ... but I think Merchan(dise) is a better description. SOB is for sale to the highest bidder, and the 'rats paid full price.
R.I.P., America

Only Slo Joe is dumb enough to do that.
Now we will see how long he lasts.
HA! Good One!!!
There were some amazing demonstrations in London today.
Tommy Robbinson was the man running it. He won his lawsuit against the English government.
He had 2 phrases on his podium that were like Trump.
And the Crowd at a point shouted Trump Trump Trump Trump (for a long time)
They pulled that clip down and burried it. The English did not want for their subjects to know they are like Trump
Gov De Santis has already anticipated this. He runs Board of Clemency in FL which would rule on this and due to bizarro legal hijinks employed in this case he would have them rule in DJT’s favor as to voting. https://www.newsweek.com/ron-desantis-speaks-donald-trump-voting-rights-1907063
