Had to get his vote in early before he is not officially eligible to vote as a felon. Lol
I had this same question. Apparently he can still vote this election...


"But he can still vote as long as he stays out of prison in New York state. That’s because Florida defers to other states’ disenfranchisement rules for residents convicted of out-of-state felonies. In Trump’s case, New York law only removes the right to vote for people convicted of felonies when they’re incarcerated."

That’s interesting. Several years ago, former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon pled guilty in federal court to corruption charges. After he pled guilty, but before he was sentenced and before judgment was entered, he voted in an election. He was then charged in state court with voter fraud based on voting as a convicted felon prior to having his rights restored. It raised the question of whether it counted as a conviction at that point, since he had not yet been sentenced and judgment had not yet been entered. As it turned out, it was considered a conviction under the law, thus he was prohibited from voting.
