Ted Cruz wins citizenship case in Pennsylvania

Ted Cruz will remain on Pennsylvania’s April 28 primary election ballot.

The Texas Senator won his citizenship case in the state’s highest court on Thursday, the Associated Press reports, upholding a lower-court’s decision to throw out the case.

Carmon Elliot, a Pittsburgh resident, argued that Cruz isn’t eligible to run for president because he was born in Canada. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied Elliot a chance to present his argument before them.

The justices upheld Commonwealth Court Senior Judge Dan Pellegrini’s order on March 11.

Cruz's campaign will make its first stop in Pennsylvania during the 2016 contest on Friday, Landcaster Online reports.
