Yes he can run, but if he can't get it overturned on appeal I'm time then he won't be able to vote in the election he's running in.
The founding fathers didn't idiot-proof the Constitution enough, and trying to amend it is a complicated nightmare that could open it up to all kinds of insanity in the modern political ecosystem.
He'll be able to vote.
He's A Florida resident, and the rule for Florida felons convicted out of state is that they are subject to the voting restrictions of the jurisdiction in which they were convicted.
New York allows felons who are not actively incarcerated to vote, so unless he's actually serving time he'll be able to vote.
So all this effort for this trial and his only consequence is he loses 1 vote? Great. Love it.
It actually depends on his sentence. In Florida felons can vote once they’ve completed their sentences. That includes parole and paying all fines though. My suspicion is he’s going to get like a year parole
What the fuck with this? This is the first time I've seen a felony with potentially no prison time. If there were ever a time for a mandatory minimum, this would be it. This fuckin' guy needs some god damned consequences.
He can vote. He was convicted in New York not Florida.
From what I've seen, Florida's voting law that if a Florida resident is convicted of a crime in another state that would prevent them from voting based on that states voting laws, then they are not allowed to vote in Florida.
And New York would allow him to vote.
