A document uncovered by Breitbart News indicates that the parents of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) were named on a Calgary list of electors for Canada's federal election of July 8, 1974.
Ted Cruz's parents are listed as "Cruz, Eleanor, Mrs." and "Cruz, Raphael, self employed," both at 920 Riverdale Avenue, South West in Calgary, Alberta.
Canadian law restricts (and restricted) federal voting rights to Canadian citizens.
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."

Crap I forgot that Trudeau is PM!
All bets are off. He will give the Dems everything they need on this.
Do you even bother reading the articles? It clearly says that this was not a list of registered voters. This would be like the GOP going door-to-door to get the names of the residents in order to try to get them to register and vote. Their names being on the list has nothing to do with them being registered or having voted... Which I wouldn't have to explain if you would JUST READ THE ARTICLE!
I like Cruz, but the fact he went to Princeton and Harvard automatically disqualifies him from my vote.
If a FReeper has a link to those documents or confirmation on such info it would be great.
Yeah, and Obama produced a BC* from Hawaii too.
Insinuation is 75% guilt in the court of public opinion. The Dems don’t have to be right, just confidently skeptical to keep the fire burning.
And she was a US born citizen who never applied to be a Canadian. Period. Game, set, match. Anybody that continues this line is an idiot.
Maybe a blood and hair sample could help as well /sarc
And the fact that Trump went to Wharton (another Ivy league school) doesn't?
That’s right. He is only running for POTUS.
You can’t vote in Canada unless you are a citizen.
Why would the marriage license matter? Even if his parents had never married it wouldn't change anything. His citizenship was through his mother, not his father.
They register people to vote in Canada by going door-to-door? Really?
Thank you.
He’s mosdef not finished but the team has to deal and not bury their collective head in the sand.
Well, let him run for President of both countries. Lol.
Personally I believe Ted IS a natural born citizen, and his mom is not a Canadian citizen.
However...there is enough here that Liberals with a friendly judge who are looking for a reason to gum-up his transition could make a whole lotta trouble.
This is one of things people will not admit to voting about until they get inside a voting booth.
I was giving an example, but in Canada, they do an "enumeration" of potential voters. They are given a list of residents, and then they go door to door to make sure that the names are right, that those are the people that live there, etc. It is more like a census than anything else. And if no one is home, they keep on going. My guess is that the Cruz family must not have been home when they came by, since the father's name was mis-spelled and never corrected. But the list does not purport to be a list of registered voters.
By the way, even if they had been registered voters at that time, it really wouldn't matter, since that list is from 1974 - four years after Ted was born. And as has been pointed out, his mom could not have been a Canadian citizen in 1970 even if she had wanted - she hadn't lived there long enough. So perhaps we can now let go of this silly idea that maybe his mother had given up her citizenship before Ted was born...
