  1. DeSantis already stated publicly that he was going to make sure Trump was eligible to vote in Florida. Basically as soon as he was convicted. These people have no real ideals.

    He voted early as a felon while also declaring felons shouldn’t have the right to vote and nobody should be able to vote early.

    And it was an absentee vote, to boot! Why aren’t his supporters turning on him for betraying him yet? (/s)

  4. He voted early so that DeSantis can shut it down for the remainder of the election season.

  5. Trump can legally vote in Florida. Florida law is that whether or not a felon can vote is based on the state they were convicted. Trump was convicted in New York. In New York, felons can vote unless they are actively incarcerated. So Trump is legally allowed to vote. Don’t be like the right and spread misinformation.

  6. The man has his own plane, he is literally a flight risk! He shouldn’t be allowed to leave New York.

  7. There’s no outrage because the whole blocking felons from voting is purely designed to disenfranchise black voters, not some ideological stance. There’s a carve out to allow felons not serving jail time to still vote. It’s designed so the prosecutor and judges can selectively disenfranchise who they want and let others like Trump continue to vote.

    Side note: I’m really amazed that it’s August, several weeks after the Republican convention, and there’s still a presidential primary election taking place in Florida

  9. So if you don’t *believe* that you are a felon, does that make you not a felon?? Asking for a friend.
