-- Latest article found says that in NJ CRUZ must prove he is eligible not that we have to prove he is not. --

I think that is just the editor's headline prerogative speaking, and doesn't necessarily reflect the legal presumptions.

I haven't found any of the filings in that case, and also haven't studied NJ election law and ballot objection law, but the usual course is that the "application" for ballot access is presumed true, which shifts the burden to opponents to produce contrary evidence.

Williams has produced contrary evidence, Cruz's Canadian BC. At that point, the case looks like all the others. The Sec. of State can decline to rule on the merits for various reasons (Cruz's lawyer will cover those bases very well), or can rule on the merits after considering arguments from both sides.

Trump needs to make a big deal about his birth and show paperwork and challenge scruz to do the same....if the NJ court doesn't do anything...
