Fifty-eight percent of GOP voters said in the new survey convicted felons should be allowed to become president if they are elected. YouGov noted that just 17 percent of Republicans held that opinion in April.
In February, 34 percent of GOP voters said criminality was among their least desired traits. Now, 19 percent say the same.
Incredible.
So I guess Trump is no longer allowed to vote in New York?
I presume Florida allows NY felons to vote though…,
No, the Florida law prohibits voting by felons convicted in other states, when that other state prohibits voting. So Florida would follow New York’s lead. And the New York law prohibits felons from voting only until they’ve served their full prison sentence.
So if Trump doesn’t get sentenced to any prison time, then he’ll be eligible to vote in New York (and therefore Florida).
