Trump Gets His Own Birthday Wrong and Melania Didn’t Know Where She Lives, NYC Ballots Reveal
President Donald Trump put down his wrong birth date, the first lady didn’t know where she lives, and Ivanka Trump was simply tardy—which is why the absentee ballots for all three were invalid in New York City’s mayoral race last month.
The city’s Board of Elections said a series of errors automatically invalidated the Trumps’ votes in the November 7 mayoral election, the New York Daily News reported.
Melania Trump incorrectly wrote in her address before she improperly secured her mail-in absentee-voter application and ballot. Under “county” the first lady wrote in “USA” rather than “New York.” She then failed to sign the inner envelope, per the instructions: “After making your votes on the ballot, fold the ballot and put it in a smaller envelope. Sign and date the back of the envelope.”
Ivanka Trump apparently filled her ballot out properly. But unlike her father and mother-in-law, who sent their botched ballots in on October 19, ahead of the deadline, Ivanka didn’t postmark her absentee ballot until Election Day, one day too late to be counted, election board officials told the newspaper.
That was an improvement over her husband, Jared Kushner, who failed to even bother to send his in, the Daily News reported.
In the president’s typed-up absentee ballot application for the November election, the 71-year-old incorrectly enter his birth date, shaving a month off his June 14, 1946, birthday and instead typing July 14. The city’s election board apparently didn’t even notice the mistake until the Daily News pointed it out to the agency.
