Today's conviction of Trump won’t end the legal case, which could quickly be appealed and possibly rise to the level of the US Supreme Court.

That's incorrect. Florida allows felons to vote, if they have been convicted in a different state, and if that conviction would not prohibit them from voting under that state's laws.

In New York, where Trump was convicted, felons are prohibited from voting only while they are serving their prison sentence.
