Highly unlikely that Ted’s parents would have both lied to the pair of Canadian official enumerators that visited their door in the late 1960’s - 1970. The Cruz campaign denies that Ted’s parents had become citizens. Ted’ father, Raphael, confessed that he had been a Canadian citizen and retained his Canadian citizenship until 2005. Rafael was a Canadian for some 35-40 years. He’s been an American for 10 years. We are unaware that there has been a declarative statement by Ted or more importantly, his mother -Eleanor, stating that at no time did she become a British citizen or Canadian citizen.

From the TPM article:

>>In accordance with the Canadian Election Act, such lists were compiled in the 1970s by a pair of officials, called enumerators, who went door-to-door together in an electoral district to ascertain the name, address and occupation of any person qualified to vote. The statute states that enumerators who “willfully and without reasonable excuse” added a name to the list “of any person who is not entitled to have his name entered thereon” forfeited pay for their services and were be subject to other punishments.

Another election official, called a returning officer, then reviewed the list. The statute states that the returning officer could not certify the document if he believed the list contained the name of any person who shouldn’t be included. The document obtained by TPM was certified in Calgary by a returning officer.

In 2013, a Canadian elections official told TPM that in the process of compiling the list, enumerators asked people to affirm that they were Canadian citizens.

“So when they knock on doors, they ask them: are you Canadian citizens, are you 18 years of age or older, and are you a resident in this facility and how long have you been living here?” Drew Westwater, the director of election operations and communications for Elections Alberta, told TPM. “If they meet all that criteria then they add them to the list, take their name and addresses and anyone else who’s living there. And they ask, is anyone else living here a Canadian citizen 18 years of age or older? And if they are, then they take their names from them at the door. And that’s the way it worked in those days.” <<<<<

The Canadian Elector’s List that included both of Cruz’z parents existed to be disseminated by the Canadian postal system to the entirety of the voting precinct. It was the official Canadian system of notification that a voter was eligible. If one was eligible and was excluded from the voting roll, he would have time to petition the election official and have his name added after proof of citizenship, address, and age. At the time these lists were compiled, Canadians were emerging from a long period of voter exclusion for minorities, faiths, ethnicities, women, and younger voters. The officials had confirmed eligibility (citizenship and age) for all those on this list.

>>>>>According to phone books from 1971, 1972 and 1973, Cruz’s parents were the only individuals with the surname Cruz living in Calgary.

Johnson, the current Cruz strategist, pointed out in his statement to Breitbart 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,” he added. “It says nothing about who was a citizen eligible to vote.”

But that appears to conflict with what the statute said, what the Canadian election official told TPM, and the document itself, which is a list of people identified as Canadian citizens who were eligible to vote in federal elections. <<<<<<<
