Correct - FL restricts convicted felons from voting, and he's registered to vote in FL.

I was watching ABC and David Muir said from his research this is not totally accurate. Florida defers to the state that the conviction is from and in NY certain (lower classes) of felons retain the right to vote. A Level E felon can still vote.

Off to find citation.

Can’t wait for DeSantis to suddenly say he will follow NY’s lead on this lmao.

[Poeticxpassion]

Wow! I didn't expect this to happen. How can he can still run for president?!

[wanderingback]

I know he has so many lawsuits going on and to be honest I have just ignored him since he left office, so is this the only one where he could be a convicted felon? Are the other lawsuits civil cases?

No, there are 91 criminal felony charges in 4 cases in 4 states. This was 1 of the 4 with 34/91 felonies.

This is amazing!!! I was watching the verdicts roll in with a family member and we were both giggling.

There's no law prohibiting it. I don't think the founding fathers ever thought someone like him would get elected.

[neverfstop]

Fuck that motherfucker!!! I'm so happy & relieved.....

I bet it's going to get even messier with sentencing, bail, appeals, etc. Please let this sway some of the "undecided" voters

The CO district that Boebert is running in is having a Republican debate tonight. It should be entertaining. (Locals, it will be on 9news.)

Unfortunately 2 of the other cases are federal, so he could be elected and pardon himself.

Also the other three cases are unlikely to begin before the election, for a lot of different reasons. I think the GA case is trying to happen in July but will probably be delayed.

The verdict was announced just as I was getting in the car to drive home, and let me tell you I was windows down, blasting NPR while cruising State Street. GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY!!!

[Pilsy]

I'd just gotten in the car to head home, and I screamed out loud when they announced it on NPR.


Oh, happy day!

Thanks! Though I just did the mental math on time zone, and 😔. But maybe someone else will want to pop some popcorn.

The New Yorker just posted a preview of its next cover, and it is hilariously petty. It'll piss 45 off so much.

I am so happy and so worried at the same time.

This is how I feel. Like I want to be happy but it’s a little PTSD in my brain right now having to hear him and about him.

Is this something DeathSantis can change easily? Because I bet he would.

I don't know if he would care, but he'd look like an asshole. Floridians voted to allow felons to vote. DeSantis then passed a law that they can only vote if they pay all the fines, etc. associated with the conviction and then muddied the waters more by making it convoluted and difficult.

So I misspoke earlier in that in FL felons CAN vote, but they have a bunch of obstacles in their way, and many found themselves arrested for voting after 2020.

Well, he is an asshole so that tracks.

Right, considering Hamilton was out of the running by admitting to an affair…

I did not even think about this, because I didn't think he would be convicted.

But ... this means he can't even vote, doesn't it?

He cannot vote.

But he can run for president.

Makes no fucking sense.

I’m unclear on this tbh. I think one of the heads on msnbc said he’d still be allowed to vote in Florida bc it’s a state crime? Nevertheless I expect Desanct to issue a very public statement “allowing” it anyway.

Wasn’t that more of a “don’t bother running because that will make you unelectable”? I mean, in any rational world, this conviction *should* hit that same standard. But, we live in strange and unusual times where 3/4 of votes say this won’t affect their choice. (Full disclosure, it doesn’t make me change my vote or even make me less likely to vote for him, because there was a 0.0% change of that ever happening)

It’s tempting to frame a copy of it.

He’s a convicted felon. This is the best day!!!!!

How can someone be president if they can't get a security clearance?

[heygrey]

This might be my favourite part - now that he is a convicted felon, technically Trump cannot cross the boarder into Canada.

What would probation mean for him?
