CONCORD, New Hampshire (CNN) -
A complaint alleging Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is not eligible to be on the New Hampshire primary ballot was dismissed Tuesday.
Former state party chairman Fergus Cullen, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump's, appeared in front of the state's Ballot Law Commission and admitted that Trump is in fact a registered Republican, while also stating that he questions the candidate's allegiance to the party.
"It is my belief that Mr. Trump must present evidence that he is a registered member of the Republican Party because his views, expressed over decades, are inconsistent with the Republican Party platform and the Republican Party of New Hampshire's statement of principles and bylaws," Cullen said in a letter of complaint to the New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission on Monday.

On November 4th Trump filed paperwork at the New Hampshire State House to appear on the ballot as a Republican. New York voter information shows that Trump is currently registered in the state as a Republican.
In light of this information, the commission unanimously voted to dismiss the complaint, with the chairman stating that it was not a forum for speeches or "advancing any other candidate."
The state party's communications director, Michael Zona, told CNN that Trump's eligibility should not be challenged.
"It is not the role of the Republican Party to determine eligibility beyond verifying party affiliation, and as Mr. Trump is a registered Republican in the state of New York, he is eligible to compete in New Hampshire's presidential primary. We do not support any effort to challenge his filing," Zona said in a statement.
