MNSBC: Why does New York Make it So Hard to Vote?

In recent years, restrictions on voting in Republican-controlled states from Arizona to North Carolina and Texas to Wisconsin have kept large numbers of legitimate voters from the polls and sparked national outrage. But another state with voting rules almost as strict has largely escaped attention: deep blue New York.

Now, as Tuesday’s presidential primaries approach, the Empire State’s woeful record on access to the ballot is at last coming under scrutiny. That’s thanks in part to Donald Trump’s kids, Ivanka and Eric, who said they won’t be voting for their dad Tuesday in the GOP primary because they missed the deadline to change their party affiliation from independent to Republican. (New York, like many states, has closed primaries.) Ivanka blamed New Yorks “onerous” rules.

Trump’s lawyer and longtime consigliere Michael Cohen, a registered Democrat, has admitted he’s in the same spot.
