Courts agree, Cruz remains on NY ballot

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A midlevel state court agrees that Senator Ted Cruz can remain on New York's April 19 presidential primary ballot.

The court says the challenge over Cruz's U.S. citizenship was filed too late.

Judge David Weinstein ruled earlier this month that the petition to knock the Texas senator off New York's Republican primary ballot missed the statutory three-day deadline.

The Appellate Division has agreed, writing that Cruz filed January 26 at the state Board of Elections, but the objection didn't arrive until February 17.
