TRUMP FAMILY/IVANKA/MELANIA/VOTE BY MAIL: “A couple of members of President Donald Trump’s family got rocked by the vote in last month’s New York City mayoral election.
Absentee votes cast by the president’s wife, Melania, and daughter Ivanka Trump were not counted by city officials after both made mistakes with their ballots, a spokeswoman for the New York City Board of Elections confirmed to NBC News on Tuesday [12-12-17].
The first lady did not sign the envelope that contained her completed absentee ballot before she sent it in, as is required by the New York City Board of Elections, said a board spokeswoman, Valerie Vasquez said.
Ivanka Trump, for her part, didn’t mail her absentee ballot in until Election Day, Nov. 7, Vasquez said, and it didn’t arrive in time to be counted.
As a result of the mistakes, the votes cast by both Trumps were tossed out.”
