Maybe in local elections, but I always thought the whole point of the "FElon"title is to say you’ve committed a FEderal level crime, and therefore have certain rights stripped, such as voting and owning a firearm (notably, two tools that basically only affect people who don’t have huge normal power like political or financial).

“Felon” just means they committed a felony. It doesn’t need to be at the federal level to be a felony. It’s just a more serious level of charge than misdemeanor.
