According to the Daily Mail link:

The “R” under “voter type” stands for “Registered,” not for Republican.
The “R” under “Ballot Type” stands for “Regular,” not for Republican.
And, according to a New York City elections division clerk, there is no record that Trump ever voted in a Republican primary election in New York City.
Trump only voted in general elections, and there is no record for whom he voted in those general elections.
Good catch. Not many seem interested...
If Trump hasn't switched parties as we know he has, why did his lawyer acknowledge that he did?
Donald Trump, who recently pulled out of moderating a Newsmax-sponsored GOP debate that only Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum would commit to, has switched his voter registration to "independent" as he mulls a third-party presidential run in 2012, a source confirms.

Trump special counsel Michael Cohen said the developer and reality TV star made the move "in order to preserve his right to run as an independent if he is (not pleased) with the GOP nominee."

It makes sense that the only time party affiliation could be stated or inferred from election records is at the primary. In the general, all the parties are on the ballot, and a person is not expected to tell the election official which party they will be voting for in the general.
On his primary voting record, the article you cited says this:
But his primary voting record is thin: just a New York City mayoral primary in September 2013 and a primary election for a U.S. Senate special election in September 2010.There is no indication that he has voted in a presidential primary of any kind since 1989, a time-frame during which he has said he was a Democrat.
What is your source for the claim that "there is no record that Trump ever voted in a Republican primary election in New York City"?
The Daily Mail article contains a photo of the actual document...apparently you are either not particularly detail oriented or have an agenda.
What the “R” stands for is irrelevant; SINCE IT SAYS “ENROLLMENT: REPUBLICAN” IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER.
Now, quit lying.
If what I've seen to this point is any indication, Trump and his supporters will totally ignore evidence negating their false claims. It is disturbing and distressing to see.
Trump and his supporters HAVE to distort and be devious with regard to the truth because distorting and or denying truth is the only way to bamboozle conservatives into supporting Trump. I did my due diligence months ago and found in a couple of different sources that Trump has switched parties three times in the past 26 years. Among other things.
Just to add a little more clarification to the document referred to (I hate that I have to qualify this, I don’t participate much in this forum, but having previously worked at the Board of Elections in the City of New York and being somewhat of an expert, and also having taken the time to go to the public AVID terminals and actually look up the records here are the FACTS):
1. The Enrollment Part is the Current Party Enrollment
2. As previous posters noted the Voter Type indicates whether the voter was an R (Registered), F (FEDERAL, i.e. persons living overseas who are only eligible to vote in Federal Elections, not local municipal elections), M (Military, self-explanatory), P for Permanent (Disabled, persons in nursing homes, or disabled at home).
3. Also as previously noted, Ballot Type indicates whether the person voted at the Poll Site (R for Regular) or A for Absentee (in fact as you can see from the document, DJT voted on 11/2/2004 as an A for Absentee which means he probably was out of town and requested a ballot and voted by paper before election day.
4. Having looked at DJT’s voting history on the AVID System it actually does indicate in which registered party he voted for each election. In New York (perhaps elsewhere) we have voter registration books that are either Pink (Rep), Green (Dem) and other colors for other parties. you go to the table sign the book and take card. This was done to confirm the correct number of people voted on the machine as had signed the book.
So here is DJT’s Voting History with Party:
2014 GE REP
2013 GE REP
2013 Primary (Lhota vs Catsimatides) REP
2012 GE REP
2010 GE REP
2010 Primary (This was likely the contested GOP Primary for Governor) REP
2009 GE REP
2008 GE DEM
2006 GE DEM
2005 GE DEM
2004 GE REP
2001 GE DEM
2000 GE I (Independence Party)
1989 to 1998 All GE, All as REP
(GE = General Election). In his defense DJT voted in pretty much all eligible primaries. He has a good solid voting record since 1989, but he did vote as a Dem from 2005 (Mayoral elections in New York are every 4 years in the ODD/OFF years, so 2005, 2009, 2013 and next year) to 2008.
“Trump only voted in general elections,”
Only?
Didn’t look like “only” to me.
The "R" under "Ballot Type" stands for "Regular," not for Republican.
LOL.
Thanks for the info.
You mean prntly.com might have twisted things to benefit Trump?
SURELY NOT!
