Jared Kushner Voted As a Woman, According to His Registration

Source: Wired

Since moving into the White House months ago, Jared Kushner—senior advisor and son-in-law to the President, savior of the Middle East, and possible person of interest in a federal investigation—has amassed a rather extensive project portfolio. The issues under Kushner's purview include negotiating peace between Israel and Palestine, fixing the opioid crisis, updating technology across the entire federal government, and spearheading criminal justice reform, to name just a few. It seems like a nearly impossible set of challenges for anyone to tackle, and even more so for Kushner. Because in addition to not having any previous government experience, the former real estate exec has demonstrated repeated difficulty filling out simple, routine forms correctly. This includes his own voter registration form.

According to the records held by the New York State Board of Elections, Jared Corey Kushner is a woman.

Is Kushner a woman? Did he just accidentally fill out the form incorrectly? Is he the victim of a malicious voter impersonation scheme? Unfortunately, there's absolutely no way to know for sure, because he has yet to provide WIRED with a comment. But based on his recent history with paperwork, option two seems like a pretty safe bet.

This past July, for instance, CBS reported that Jared had updated a disclosure form necessary to obtain security clearance no fewer than three separate times. Kushner originally filed the form on January 18 with zero names listed under a section that asked about foreign contacts. He later claimed his team had accidentally hit send before he had a chance to fully fill it in, though according to The Washington Post, the form also got the dates of his graduate degrees incorrect, and even omitted his father-in-law's address. He submitted a supplemental form acknowledging that the original form was incomplete the following day.

3. Newsweek:

...

Newsweek verified Wired's report through public records.



It's not clear if this constitutes a breach of voting laws, but it is quite ironic considering the Trump administration's claims of widespread voter fraud. Moreover, it adds to the already embarassing fact that Kushner is registered to vote in two states—both New York and New Jersey.

It's entirely possible this was simply an accident. But Kushner, senior adviser and son-in-law to President Donald Trump, seems to struggle when it comes filling out official forms.

...

In short, whatever the reason for Kushner being listed as a woman in voter records, it adds to the narrative that he's incompetent and fails to follow proper procedure. This doesn't exactly inspire confidence in terms of his ability to advise the president.

If Kushner can't fill out a simple form, should he really be offering guidance to Trump on complex matters like the push for peace in the Middle East?

I think a few of the family and friends are registered to vote in more than one state. Bannon and Tiffany are.

They just don't do things the American ways.

Do you suppose the russians put this republican through a FAKE sex-unchange operation? It could definitely have not happened, unless of course Jar Boy chose the full-on Neuter Gingrich KGOP "family values" option.

I suspect that Jared, like tRump - has an ingrained elitist attitude that they shouldn't be bothered with trivial pursuits like filling out forms, honoring government protocols, respecting women and wiping their own asses.

That might explain the sloppy attention to details.

He strikes me as a guy who is "above" filling in his own forms. Oh that's peon work. Maybe one of his aids had a bit of fun and had a sense of humour when he told them to fill in his voter registration info. ?

"It is a crime to procure a false registration or to furnish false information to the Board of Elections."

So...either leave the gender blank or fill it out CORRECTLY. Trying to make it look like more female voters went for the Pussy Grabber??
