You do realize that this proves my point, right? In New York, you are
allowed to vote so long as you are not incarcerated. So, by your quote
above, "voting rights are governed by the state where you were convicted."
So Trump was convicted in New York, is not in jail, so he is allowed to
vote.
As of 2021, New York is not one of the "many other states" that make you wait
until you serve your term. You are eligible so long as you are not serving it
at the time of the election in question.
Trump was not in jail on Election Day so, as a felon convicted in New York, he
was eligible to vote in Florida in November, 2024.

I was not aware that Trump was convicted of molesting boys in Georgia. He
also doesn`t hit me as a potential Kamala voter but, if you say so I guess
I have to take your word for both.

I am sure that Florida knows a felon convicted in New York, who is not
currently incarcerated and is therefore eligible to vote in Florida, voted.
It has been all over the news.

This is funny because you are wanting me to take your word for it and yet
those are your *only* credentials. You do realize how hypocritical that is,
right?
I have researched this. I have only found one source, the New York Post,
that agrees with you -- and that article is several months old. Every
other article that I found, many which site legal experts (just like you
did), says "Trump is a convicted felon."
Now, I also found a couple who say he is a convicted felon but we should
not call him that because that is not "sensitive language" and is offensive
to persons convicted of felonies. Sounds like those might be up your alley
since it triggers you so much.
