“How did his mom vote in Canadian elections?”

Is this true? No one has been able to confirm this rumor when I have asked on other threads.

What was the basis of this dismissal? Any body know?

BTW, I hope no one is naive enough to believe that this ruling IN ANY WAY will slow down the torrent of NBC challenges by the Democrats should Donald get shot and Cruz get the nomination.

In a statement to Breitbart News—the full text of which follows this article—Jason Johnson, chief strategist for Cruz for President, said that “the document itself does not purport to be a list of ‘registered Canadian voters.’ All this might conceivably establish is that this list of individuals (maybe) lived at the given addresses. It says nothing about who was a citizen eligible to vote.”

Johnson added: “Eleanor was never a citizen of Canada, and she could not have been under the facts or the law. In short, she did not live in Canada long enough to be a Canadian citizen by the time Cruz was born in 1970: Canadian law required 5 years of permanent residence, and she moved to Canada in December 1967—only 3 years before Senator Cruz’s birth.”

The document is a “preliminary list of electors,” and not a record of those who actually voted. Such lists were also prone to error, according to Breitbart News sources.
