      Not necessarily. New York law is that felons are only kept from voting while incarcerated. And since FL law refers to the other States for their residents, Trump will be able to vote for himself, unless he is behind bars. I doubt he sees time in a cell, but I’d love to be wrong.

        In New York they still need a Certificate of Relief from Civil Disabilities signed by the convicting judge to be able too vote. Source: Me
