He’s a convicted felon, right? And that means he isn’t eligible to vote, right? So he didn’t/couldn’t vote, right?

Florida allows felons to vote if the state the felony conviction occurred in allows felons to vote. New York allows felons to vote, thus Florida allows him to vote.
Which doesn’t matter anyway because he hasn’t been sentenced.
Still a felon. That’s how NY law works.
I looked this up a while back. Felons in NY can vote as long as they aren’t currently incarcerated.
Who was going to stop him. He got away with inciting Jan 6th. What are they going to do?
Say what you want about trump, but I think felons should be able to vote no matter what. I even think people should be able to vote from prison.
This wasn’t too hard to find with a web search: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/05/politics/can-trump-vote-2024-election/index.html
While Florida generally makes it challenging for people in the state with felony convictions to regain their voting rights, former President Donald Trump had no issue casting a ballot for himself Tuesday in Palm Beach.
…
Under Florida law, if a voter has an out-of-state conviction, Florida will defer to that state’s laws for how a felon can regain his or her voting rights. Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
For Trump, that means he will benefit from a 2021 New York law that allows people with felony convictions to vote as long as they’re not serving a term of incarceration at the time of the election.
Depending on the state, felons can vote if they’re not currently incarcerated.
Florida isn’t one of those states though, but on the other hand Trump’s felonies are from NY and are under appeal. So OP’s question is interesting.
Florida follows the guidelines of the state they’re convicted in
Convicted felons can’t vote?
In the US, it depends on which state and certain conditions. Only two states, Maine and Vermont, will allow felons to vote, even while incarcerated. The link below has a good summary.

Who cares.
He voted for Biden.
I even heard on the news unbidden that he had voted. I wonder who he voted for?
Biden.
he voted in palm Beach because he hasn’t been sentenced yet.
after he gets sentenced, he’ll be ineligible to vote.
Florida follows the laws of the state where he was convicted so he would only be unable to vote while incarcerated, which won’t happen because he is never punished for anything.
I know, that’s the law I was referring to from New York.
he can vote until he gets sentenced.
he had to pay $100 million.
which is not nothing.
