Despite state laws barring felons from holding office until sentenced, federal rules don’t restrict candidacy based on conviction alone. With sentencing set for November 16th and no legal deadline to remove him from the ballot, voters will still choose among him, a Republican incumbent, a Democrat, and an independent. If sentenced to two or more years, House rules require him to stop voting and resign from committees — setting up a tense political and ethical standoff as the nation watches how this case unfolds.
