Unfortunately that was just wishful thinking. I had to confirm and according to Florida and New York state law, he will be about to vote unless he ends up being incarcerated in New York at the time.
It’s hard for imprisoned people to have a fair vote, unhindered by pressure from guards, administration, or gangs. You think for-profit prisons selling slave labor of their inmates is bad, just offer them the opportunity to sell their votes.
Is it true he is no longer eligible to vote?

To be fair I think felons and imprisoned folk should be allowed to vote.
Why not just kick them out of the country if you are going to disenfranchise them like that?

Well that would be an easy one to expose though wouldnt it? Theres no chance a prison could keep that hidden.
That’s fair, although a bit extreme jumping straight to kicking them out of the country.
How about just politicians with felonies then?
Yeah that was meant to be some form of sarcasm I couldn’t figure out how to word right.
I don’t think citizens really should ever lose their right to vote. Its absurd to me.
I will say people who commit political crimes should be barred from politics though.
