From Donald Trump trial verdict, in which he was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, many doubts were raised regarding the future of the former president. In view of the elections, various doubts arose, one of them points to know if the republican will be able to vote in the elections where he will seek to defeat Joe Biden and become president of the United States again. Given that doubt, a Florida law could be beneficial for him.
According to the information collected by the aforementioned media, Florida legislation establishes that Those convicted of crimes in other states will be able to vote without problem, unless the state where the act was tried prohibits it. In the case of New York, It only eliminates the right to vote if the convicted person is in jail.
For this reason, while awaiting the sentence that will be announced on July 11, as long as Trump is not sent to prison and is locked up during the elections, you will most likely be able to exercise your right to vote. The elections will be held on November 5, when the United States will choose who will take the reins of the country for the next four years.
Can Donald Trump run in the elections after being convicted?
Along with doubts about his ability to vote, many wondered if the verdict against him prevented him from running in the presidential elections. The truth is that the United States Constitution only establishes the requirements of being at least 35 years old, being a US citizen by birth and living in the country for at least fourteen years to apply. Given the nothing is mentioned about the judicial situation, Trump would have no problem continuing his run for the presidency.
