My favorite part about the aftermath of this is that Convicted Felon Trump won't be able to vote for himself in the election 🥰
Except he will. Florida doesn't allow convicted felons to vote unless it's a state felony that would not prevent them from voting in the state where it was charged - and New York doesn't strip felons of voting rights.
Even if they did, Florida voting rights can be restored by the governor and a review board appointed solely by him. Despite their history of personal conflict, don't think for a second that DeSantis wouldn't capitalize on the boost with his political base from handing Donald Trump the voting booth photo op as a personal gift.
FML you're right :( just saw this pop up in a news feed. Party of law and order at work
