CNN —Now that a New York jury has convicted former President Donald Trump of all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, the next obvious question is: Can a convicted felon run for president?
A further question is more complicated: Could Trump, as a felon, vote for himself?
And now to the more difficult question …Can a convicted felon vote?
Trump is now a Florida resident – and Florida voters, in 2018, overwhelmingly backed a referendum to reenfranchise convicted felons.
In New York, after a law passed in 2021, any convicted felon who is not incarcerated is eligible to register to vote.
