When Florida changed it's law to allow ex-felons to vote, I remember reading that the legislature put as many roadblocks as they could. Felons must complete all sentences, fines, and restitution before they can vote.

So any sentence or sanction that can't be fulfilled by November should exclude him from Florida's rolls, right?

Speaking of which. What ever happened with his sentencing? Last I heard he was going to be sentenced in July, but I haven't seen a single headline about it. Did they just not punish him at all, or what?

Delayed while the parties tried to make sense of the SCOTUS wrench.

Now set for Sept 18, with one more hearing on Sept 6 for final arguments first:

Small correction since I misread that a bit: The parties are submitting written arguments on whether the conviction should be upheld. The Sept 6 date is when Justice Merchan will rule on those arguments.

What a joke. He's never going to face meaningful consequences. Ever.
