Did Trump's mother vote illegally in 1940

[WheelWalker]

According to this Snopes link, Mary trump self-identified as a naturalized US citizen on the 1940 census form, but wasn't naturalized until 1942. Aside from questions about her immigration status in coming to America, was she registered to vote in a US election and did she in fact vote in a US election prior to her naturalization in 1942?

Does anyone have access to NY City voter registry for the period in question? Has this question been discussed and resolved anywhere that you know of? I am quite curious.

1. I don't really give a damn what someone did or didn't do in 1940 nt

2. No one asked if you give a damn. I asked what you know, not what you care about.

The character of your response is rather hostile in my opinion, but I'm guessing you don't give a damn about that, either. Thank you for the insight, and for sharing.

11. Republicans wouldn't care

about how long ago it was. They'd still be going on about it. They were going on about Obama's mother and calling her a communist.

3. Let's see if it matters.

Was she a white Christian? If so, not a problem.

5. Well put. That being said,

she was a woman and there are more than a few I'd guess who believe still today that the franchise should not extend to anyone but white, Christian males with property.

7. And, unfortunately, some of those who believe that are women

who voted for Trump.

8. Didnt she die like 20 years ago?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think we can impeach him on this.

10. Check the law in NY at the time

States can allow noncitizens to vote in local elections.
