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.
*snip*
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.

NO worries.
This only makes Trump stronger.
Bwhahahahaha
Fergus Cullen could not be reached for comment as his head was stuck up Jeb Bush’s ass so far he couldn’t hear anything.
AMEN! So happy he is calling out that snake, Rove. Sic him Trump!
AGREED!!!......”Bring it on”!!!
Love what the media did here...suggesting there was a problem with Trump’s eligibility, but burying in the article about 3/4 of the way down that the challenge was dismissed, therefore no problem...never was one. But they had to represent it that way...even though he’s leading in that poll by 10-15%. When will they learn?
“his views, expressed over decades, are inconsistent with the Republican Party platform and the Republican Party of New Hampshire’s statement of principles”
That’s our complaint with the entire GOPe / RINO / Leftist Uniparty Caucus!
Should he challenge bernie sanders on the same grounds? He is in the democrapic primary with no party affiliation.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! :-)
SPOT ON !
GO TRUMP!
Someone is, IIRC.
“It is my belief that...his views, expressed over decades, are inconsistent with the Republican Party platform... ,” Cullen said in a letter of complaint
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Meaning that Trump doesn’t pre-emptively fold to every Democrat whim, isn’t for allowing everyone into this country, isn’t beholden to every Globalist Liberal PAC, and buckles to every foreign entity in their trade deals.
Cullen is just a pawn being used by the pissant Kasish. I hope Trump unloads both barrels at him next debate. In a coordinated attack, Tokyo Rove also unleashed an attack on The Donald today. Last night on BOR, BOR had to restrain him from attacking Trump.
Simple you dont like Trump dont vote for him like me. That being said he belongs on the ballot and let the voters decide
