So I guess Trump is no longer allowed to vote in New York?
I presume Florida allows NY felons to vote though..,,
No, the Florida law prohibits voting by felons convicted in other states, when that other state prohibits voting. So Florida would follow New York's lead. And the New York law prohibits felons from voting only until they've served their full prison sentence.
So if Trump doesn't get sentenced to any prison time, then he'll be eligible to vote in New York (and therefore Florida).
