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 Tuesdays presidential primaries approach, the Empire States woeful record on access to the ballot is at last coming under scrutiny. Thats thanks in part to Donald Trumps kids, Ivanka and Eric, who said they wont 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.
Trumps lawyer and longtime consigliere Michael Cohen, a registered Democrat, has admitted hes in the same spot.
