\nDonald Trump casted a vote for himself on Tuesday in Palm Beach, Florida, despite the fact he is a convicted felony \u2013 and there\u2019s a reason for that.\n
Earlier this year, the former US president, who is hoping to return to the White House with victory in the upcoming presidential election, was convicted and found guilty in Manhattan on all 34 counts of falsifying business records.\n
Trump had previously denied the accusations, which claim that the records were linked to a hush money payment to adult film star, Stormy Daniels, by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen.\n
After his guilty verdict by a jury, he described the trial as a \u2018disgrace\u2019 and \u2018rigged\u2019 and that he was an \u2018innocent man\u2019.\n
But while he hopes to be president-elect in the coming weeks, Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on November 26.\n
\n
Many believed that his conviction may make it difficult for the businessman to vote in the election today (5 November) as Florida generally makes it tricky for people in the state with felony convictions to vote.\n
However, this doesn\u2019t appear to be the case for Trump.\n
According to CNN, there is a bit of a loophole in the system as under Florida law, if a voter received the conviction in another state, then Florida will defer to that state\u2019s law on voting with a felony conviction.\n
Well, a New York 2021 law permits individuals with felony convictions to vote upon numerous situations, including restoration of voting right upon release from incarceration, and if they are not incarcerated, then they are still eligible to vote, the New York State of Board Elections states.\n

Blair Bowie, director of the Campaign Legal Center\u2019s Restore Your Vote project, told CNN: \u201cFlorida is really behind in terms of its laws.\u201d\n
However, because of Trump\u2019s conviction in another state, he\u2019s been able to scoot around it \u2013 though others aren\u2019t so fortunate as Floridian law prohibits those convicted of felonies from voting unless their right to vote has been restored by the State Clemency Board, as per Florida Division of Elections.\n
\u201cBottom line is, it should be this easy for everyone, not just Trump,\u201d Bowie added.\n

While Americans head to the polls to decide who they want as their next president, you may have noticed Trump is looking \u2018much more orange\u2019 than normal.\n
And if you\u2019ve had that assumption, then you certainly won\u2019t be the only one.\n
Celebrity makeup artist Safia Cox told the Mirror why she thinks that is, saying: \u201cI think he uses some sort of fake tan or tinted moisturiser with a bronzer. I 100% do not think it\u2019s sun beds as it would be a completely different tone.\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s some sort of fake tan or some sort of tinted moisturizer with bronzer, and he\u2019s then used powder with it. It\u2019s definitely some sort of cream product that he uses and has probably mattified it after because it\u2019s so orange.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
