They didn’t settle a thing. This issue is not going away for Cruz. None of the plaintiffs were even presidential candidates who petitioned the board, and the board took the easy way out than make waves, which was entirely predictable.
The voters may decide if Cruz is a natural born citizen of these United States with knowledge about the issue. I doubt he can make it to the presidency no matter the case.
Here are two articles about the challenge in Illinois.. Cruz was also challenged in NH.. He won both!!!!
