ALBANY, N.Y. — The New York State Board of Elections on Tuesday granted former President Donald Trump a spot on the state’s GOP presidential primary ballot, allowing him access two days before the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a mammoth case determining his ballot eligibility nationwide.
The two Republican commissioners on the state Board of Elections approved Trump’s ballot line in a brief meeting at the board’s Albany offices. The bipartisan board has four members, but its two Republicans have control over eligibility decisions for GOP presidential candidates.
