Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has long been criticized for making it difficult, if not impossible, for people convicted of felonies to vote in Florida.

Unless, that is, you are former president Donald Trump.

On Wednesday, Trump — who was found guilty earlier this summer of 34 felony counts while gearing up his 2024 presidential campaign — cast his ballot for the presidential primary election at a local Palm Beach County polling place near his home at Mar-a-Lago.

This obviously raises some questions: Did Trump vote illegally? Will his vote count? What about his eligibility to vote in November?

So, as Trump's case plays out in New York and he heads to the polls in Florida, has DeSantis reiterated his hardline stance about felon voting rights? Has he railed against liberal states and how their loose criminal justice policies may permit convicted felons to abscond to Florida to cast votes?

Not a peep.
