Donald and Melania Trump voted for President in Palm Beach Florida.. hmmmm he's a felon

[Peacetrain]

Did he break the law in Florida by voting as a felon? I think Florida has one of the strictest laws about felons voting.. I do not know why this hit me all of the sudden.. I guess these crazy pardons makes me wonder if he better pardon himself..

1. No. This was discussed at length at the time. Florida law allows a felon to vote

if they were convicted in another state and that state allows them to vote. Trump was convicted in New York, and that state's law provides that a convicted person can't vote only if they are in prison. Since he wasn't in prison, and FL law says NY law controls, he could vote in FL.

3. Even if it had been illegal, he would have done it anyway.

No one would care, no one would stop him.

5. During his first go round, there was discussions about his permanent residency status in Florida

There was some behind the scenes stuff about Mara Largo being a resort and not a house/condo but the county had to settle the issue as neighbors were not happy about favorable changes in zoning for him. In Florida, one must live in the home 6 months and one day to be eligible for residency and tax issues
