[font size=5]Ivanka Trump slams New York's 'onerous' registration rules[/font]

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Ivanka Trump won’t be voting[/FONT] for her father in New York’s primary next Tuesday [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]because of the state’s “onerous rules,” she said.[/FONT]

Both Ivanka, who identifies as an independent, and her brother Eric Trump reside in New York but missed the October deadline to register to vote in the April 19 primary.

“We’re not a family of politicians. We haven’t been in politics very long,” Ivanka Trump told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday during a town hall with the Republican presidential front-runner and his family. “New York has one of the [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]most onerous rules in terms of registration[/FONT], and it required us to register a long time ago — almost close to a year ago — and we didn’t do that. We found out about it sort of after the fact.”

Eric Trump echoed that sentiment and highlighted voter registration videos the real-estate mogul’s children have put out. “It was our first kind of foray into politics,” he said. “[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]We didn’t realize how the whole system worked. It was amazing[/FONT]. We actually made it a very big part of the campaign and there’s no one that’s been more visible on the campaign than the two of us, but [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]we made it a very big part to get that message out” to register and vote[/FONT]. ....

1. Looks like Some Rules do apply to the Trumps.

2. All primaries should be open with same day registration.

That being said, these are not young adults (34, 32)... have they never voted before? Sheesh.

3. "same day registration" - I don't think the DRUMPF family are likely fertile ground for reform!1 n/t

4. Interesting that according to an OP below, registration was open until March 25 in New York.

Would have had to register almost a year ago? A month, a year, they're all the same when you're a Trump. It was a Yuge time ago.

6. new registrations were open until march 25 but if you were already registered but as indy

you had to change party way back on oct 9th, so more than 6 months before voting

the ny primary seems to be all about insider control, certainly not growing the tent(for either party)

5. Runnin' for Prezdent 101: Look up the rules for getting on the ballot in all 50 states,

and look up the rules for registering to vote in all 50 states so you can pass that on to your supporters.*


*If you're really serious about runnin' for prezdent, do both of these things 1 1/2 to 2 years before the date of the general election.

7. Why are they talking to media,highlighting how stupid and nonfunctional they can be?

Rich kid(actually adult) whiners don't attract more voters
See: Romney

8. Because Anderson COOPER had "family" (of the candidates') specials to "humanize" them!1

See, those candidates aren't *so* weird, despotic, repulsive, and detestable as they seem!1 They have their warm family side!1

9. All she did was prove

she's had zero interest in voting in NY primaries before her daddy was running. Or this wouldn't be news to her (or anyone else).
