He was only convicted in NY of class E felonies for falsifying business records, and in NY he isn't barred as long as he isn't incarcerated. Florida generally defers to the voting rights laws of the state where the conviction occurred.
Florida is also a state which has its own legal facilities for restoring the voting rights of felons under various circumstances
I should know… I voted for that legal measure about 25 years ago when it was on the ballot… Didn’t think Donald Trump would be part of this at the time…
