NY Judge to Hear Suit Challenging Cruz Ballot Eligibility

An Illinois voter’s lawsuit challenging Ted Cruz’s eligibility to run for president of the United States because he was born in Canada was dismissed on a technicality on Tuesday by a state judge.

Joyce supports the long-shot Republican candidacy of Dr. Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, and tells U.S. News he plans to tell Cook County Judge Maureen Ward Kirby, a Democrat, that Langenstein and Cruz are so closely intertwined, with her being a potential delegate and having represented him before the election board, that service on her was essentially the same as serving the senator.

She says the attorney who filed the complaint failed to provide a copy of it to Cruz or state electoral board members, as required by IL state law.

Meanwhile, voters in Texas, Pennsylvania, Alabama and NY have also filed legal challenges to Ted Cruz’s eligibility.

Cruz, born in Calgary in 1970, says he’s eligible to serve as president because his mother was a US citizen. Cruz, himself an attorney, has maintained he is a natural-born American due to his mother’s citizenship. “It’s very clear that Senator Cruz is a natural-born citizen”.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t say whether she thought Cruz was a “naturally-born” citizen when asked about it at her weekly press conference.

Republican presidential candidate Sen.

Joyce has the right to appeal the decision, but says he will wait to see Super Tuesday results before making his decision. Cruz won in Iowa but lost to Donald Trump in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.

“This lawsuit was merely a misguided attempt to distract the voters away from the candidate who’s the most qualified candidate we have for president, and that’s Sen”.

Cruz will stay on the state’s March 15 primary ballot. John McCain and late Michigan Gov. George Romney. Did these challenges cost Ted Cruz 60 votes in Dillon County.
