An early look at the April contests... (D)

[Anna Komnene]

Some states are bad like New York where you have to register by a Democrat by October! I would have been confident of an upset in New York if it was open as we have many people wanting to vote but can't.

Yeah, New York's primary rules are terrible.  That said, the rule you're talking about only applies to registered voters.  New voters can still register if they postmark their registration by March 25th or in person at the Board of Elections by April 8th.
