Felony conviction not of moral turpitude in Florida
Can felons vote in Florida?
If you are convicted of a felony not of moral turpitude, you lose your right to vote, until the following conditions are met:
You have completed your sentence, including probation, parole.
Full payment of all restitution, fines, and other fees. Note: This requirement is subject to change, please see Next Steps if you have outstanding fees.
A felony conviction in another state makes a person ineligible to vote in Florida only if the conviction would make the person ineligible to vote in the state where the person was convicted.
He would not be able to vote in NY either, so I assume that no, he will not be able to vote for himself unless given a very short sentence that he can complete by November.
Oh man, heâs going to be really pissed if that means no photo op on Election Day? Like with him in a blue suit, white shirt, red tie and Melania strutting in on his arm.
I have to wonder if Trump brought this on himself by being a cheap sob. After they came up with the catch and kill plan, Pecker paid for McDougalâs story and Trump didnât reimburse him (iirc). Along comes Daniels, Pecker says heck na, Cohen says ok Iâll do it myself since the boss said take care of it. Instead of paying Cohen oop, he gets trump org to do it. Undone by being a cheap sob. The irony.
These are the polls I saw which asked before and after conviction votes. Seems most are not going Biden but rather third party or undecided, so the shift from Trump + 1 to Biden +7 wonât be fully realized, but I could see him losing 1-2% of his voters
This interview with Trumpâs defense attorney is something. He couldnât call valuable defense witnesses or Trump to the stand because âthis is Americaâ. Iâm speculating that this means said witnesses couldnât stand up to cross examination.
This is helpful. I had not seen the detailed polls but just heard a reference on MSNBC.
My reaction is that it is a sad day when relatively few Republican voters seem to care that their presumptive Presidential candidate is a convicted felon. Equally sad is the reaction from Republican politicians who criticize the Justice system rather than Trump. Such a contrast to 50 years ago when Republican politicians rightly abandoned Nixon. Sad.
I mean, the conviction is certainly going to energize his base, who were gonna vote for him no matter what, anyway. But his base was not enough to win the popular vote 2x already.
I see this conviction as the death blow to DTâs political career.
I saw someone point out that the Republicans criticizing the conviction have been avoiding saying that he is innocent, and rather are attacking the prosecutors and DOJ.
The thing that will move the needle more is if the anti-Trump bloc that isnât convinced it wants Biden II comes in for Biden with the same fervor it had when voting Democrat in 2022.
I donât sense additional people are going to drag themselves through hot lava and over jagged glass to vote against Biden that wouldnât already do it because ⌠itâs not a cult, itâs just an obsessive desire to one day meet a specific individual and gain that personâs favor. The anti-Trump side has to work itself back up to that point.
Yes, well, maybe. Some articles popped up overnight on the topic that are claiming he could only not vote if he was in jail, so probably irrelevant, but I would expect Desantis would try to change the rules for Trump if it was needed.
DeSantis could certainly change the rules regarding felons voting in Florida (with help from the legislature, which I assume is sufficiently compliant on such matters). But he canât pardon Trump without first moving to New York and second getting elected Governor of New York.
