New York and Florida are among the 48 states that prohibit certain felons from voting.

Florida doesn\u2019t prevent all felons convicted outside the state from voting. Instead, it defers to state laws where the person is convicted.<\/p>\n<p>In New York, felons can\u2019t vote while they are behind bars, but as soon as they leave prison, they can cast a ballot again. <\/p>\n<p>Even if Trump is convicted and sentenced to time in prison, the lengthy appeals process is all but guaranteed to ensure his sentence would be pushed back beyond the election.<\/p>\n<p>Bowie and Sentencing Project member Bob Libal said confusion around Trump\u2019s possible disenfranchisement is harmful to voting more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe confusion around President Trump\u2019s eligibility to vote is representative of a confusion that a lot of people have, and I think that that confusion dissuades people from voting,\u201d Libal said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can be quite complicated. We\u2019re talking about Trump, who\u2019s a person who has access to lots of lawyers, and even here, you can tell it\u2019s quite complicated,\u201d Bowie said. \u201cFor the average person who doesn\u2019t have access to attorneys, it can be almost impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s other cases would add further confusion \u2014 the federal cases against him would be much more likely to strip the former president of his voting rights in November.<\/p>\n<p>A conviction in the classified documents or election conspiracy cases would require him to obtain clemency in Florida or a presidential pardon to vote again.
