Twelve New Yorkers are expected to deliver their verdict shortly in the case against Donald J. Trump. He is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a payment to a porn star.

If he is guilty on even a single count, the former president and the presumptive republican nominee for the White House will not be able to vote for himself
Apparently, assuming he's voting in Florida, for an out of state felony they use the other state's rules to determine if he can vote. For New York, you can vote unless you are in prison for a felony (people on parole can vote). So unfortunately unless he's thrown in jail, he'll probably be able to vote for himself in Florida.
Well they certainly have a leg up and don't go to jail as often as they should, politicians do go to jail sometimes. Easy to find federal politicians that have on this list:
But apparently he can vote if he is done serving the punishment. So, if the punishment is a fine and he pays the fine, Florida can (and probably will) reinstate his right to vote.
It depends on the punishment and when he'll be able to complete the punishment.
