Boston Globe re: Voting in NY primary
https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/politics/2016/04/17/voting-new-york-primaries-not-all-easy/klcm09X6XcNGKz5YLvdMjM/story.html
NEW YORK (AP) — As New York prepares for its most meaningful presidential primary in decades, some of the candidates’ most passionate supporters are finding out they will be spending Election Day on the sidelines.
Under state rules, only registered Democrats can vote in Tuesday’s Democratic primary. And only registered Republicans can vote in the GOP contest.
As for the 3.2 million New Yorkers registered with no party or a minor one, they are out of luck if they want to influence the outcome of the Democratic or Republican races. The deadline to switch to one of the two majors for the purpose of voting in the primary passed without fanfare back in October.
Two of Donald Trump’s children, Ivanka and Eric Trump, revealed recently they missed the deadline, thus barring them from voting for their father.
