If Trump is convicted

[Anonymous]

of a felony then he can't vote for himself, can he? He hasn't whined about this but maybe he doesn't realize all that a felony conviction would mean.

I think he would gladly sacrifice one vote in Florida if it gets thousands of his supporters in states like Michigan and Pennsylvania to vote for him.

Florida recognizes other states on voting rights and in NY. a felony conviction and you lose your voting rights. How humiliating to run for President and you can't vote for yourself! I predict Florida will change it's laws for Trump.

Florida had a ballot initiative that passed overwhelmingly in favor of voters being able to vote once their sentences were through. Then the legislature mucked it up saying you have to pay all of your fines, fees and court costs before being able to vote.

How is that a deranged question? Florida disenfranchises convicted felons.

If he is convicted the Supreme Court will find a way to over turn it. It does not matter if this is a state’s jurisdiction. This will be heard by the Supreme Court on some spurious logic of unconstitutionality.

I don’t know that he’ll be convicted, but if he is, how would a conviction with an appeal pending affect his right to vote?

That’s the most relevant question.

The laws were not meant for him, of course.

I don’t care if he can vote for himself but I can’t believe how many people are dumb enough to vote for this criminal man child.

Trump is only going to get a fine no jail time even if he is convicted.

UGH

I think Judge Merchan will treat him like Ordinary Citizen John Smith and if that's jail time, tough for Trump.

He might be sentenced to jail time, but it's highly unlikely he will actually serve any jail time. With a drawn-out appeals process, by the time all is said and done he'll either be president again (and therefore not subject to imprisonment) or nature will have taken its course.

Why can't he be jailed pending appeal?
