It's a matter of state law, as most election stuff is. Trump could vote because he's a resident of Florida and Florida only bars people convicted of felonies in Florida from voting, and only then until they have fully completed the punishment laid upon them (meaning both any custodial sentence and any fines). Trump was convicted of felonies in New York, so Florida doesn't care and Trump could vote.

Not exactly. In Florida with a felony conviction from another state you can't vote if the conviction prevents you from voting in the state where convicted. So the NY rules apply because It's a NY conviction.
