Convicted felon Donald Trump's decision to attack Justice Merchan (& his daughter) repeatedly & in the most personal terms possible is a bold strategy. Justice Merchan now has complete discretion whether to sentence Trump to probation or imprisonment of up to 4 years. He can consider the contempts.
For an out-of-state felony conviction, Florida (a) bars voting if currently incarcerated and (b) follows the disenfranchisement rule of the state of conviction, once released (or sentenced to probation). In NY, unless currently in jail, a felon can vote.
So Trump could vote, unless in jail.
We really shouldn't have disenfrachisement rules, except for MAYBE treason and seditious consipracy.
But I know why we have them, so I don't have much hope for them ever changing.
Florida laws defer to the state laws of the crime's occurance/conviction. So he would be subject to NY's laws, which don't disenfranchise felons unless they enter a jail for imprisonment. Florida would absolutely allow NY to not take his abillty to vote away... But if Merchan sends him to jail...
