Good thing Florida exempted Trump from their "convicted felons can't vote" laws, too, huh?

Oh, it's Trump, they said, well, yes, he has been convicted, but because a sentence has not been imposed or completed he's akshualllly not reallly a felon... yet.

All the inmates in Florida prisons whose sentences have not been completed were very surprised to learn they were still eligible to vote.

Except, no, this is just for Trump.

We all know that American democracy is a sad broken joke, but this piece of news is about France, which seems to have a functioning one.
