Trump can still vote in November if he stays out of prison
Donald Trump’s felony conviction won’t stop him from being able to vote — as long as he avoids prison.
Trump’s home state of Florida restricts the voting rights of convicted felons. But Florida defers to other states’ disenfranchisement rules — and in New York, the law only removes the right to vote for felons when they’re incarcerated. So as long as Trump isn’t sent to prison, he can vote for himself in Florida in November’s election. However, even imprisonment would not bar him from continuing his pursuit of the White House.
