People are making a big deal about the fact that Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka forgot to register for this year’s primary. What they ought to be making a big deal about is that New York, supposedly a progressive state, does not have election day registration. Interest in elections peaks on election day. Why shouldn’t prospective voters be allowed to register on the day they would vote?
Pennsylvania, of course, also has a thirty day cut-off for registration, but our state is noted for its policies of making voting difficult. Pennsylvania is NOT a progressive state. Pennsylvania is an embarrassment to democracy.
