Being a convicted felon doesn’t mean you are permanently disenfranchised everywhere. In some states you must lobby to be re-enfranchised (and you can guess who gets approved and who doesn’t) and I think Florida is one of those states so any legal stuff there would only require the governor to approve reinstatement of rights and pass that order down to whomever is on the appeal board, and since he’s a conservative shitbag, too, thats a no-brainer.

A lot of other states, including New York, reinstate voting rights once the sentence has been carried out and the felon is no longer serving time or on paper, whatever that might be. If the sentence was a slap on the wrist or otherwise just sort of vanished, welp…

Idk all the specifics about his legal troubles or felon status and voting in other states, but I know a ton of the lawsuits were in New York, and if the others are in Florida, or they have jurisdiction over his voting rights due to that being his residence or whatever other reasoning, the governor would just reinstate that right.

So this one, unfortunately, probably really isn’t the gotcha it looks like.
