It seems to have not been mentioned that Trump chose to FIRE his Colorado State Director a week before the convention. I would assume he and his crew would be the ones coordinating their reps to the convention to select delegates.
If the Trump Super Management Team had it all together...oh, they wrote off Colorado before the convention, choosing not to have either candidate nor high level substitute even attend. They did not have a professional presence. They get a two-fer, abandon a state and blame it on Cruz...
Worked for some the the less intellectually gifted.

“So once those delegates indicated they were running as Cruz delegates, they became bound delegates when they were selected.”
Thank you for the cite on the rule. On a website it shows them as “soft” delegates, but that may have been as they left the precinct and county caucuses. So I had thought that they were still “soft”.
Contact the delegates:

The entire list is there, scroll down the page.
From the Colorado Independent:
The influence Colorado Republicans could wield on their party’s nomination for president just became more apparent.
The state party has released the names of Colorado Republicans running to become delegates at the July 18 national convention in Cleveland, along with how many of them are pledged to a particular presidential candidate or want to be free agents.
The numbers so far? Nearly two thirds of the roughly 500 announced delegate hopefuls are not pledging support to any candidate. In addition, 102 are committing to Ted Cruz, and 62 are behind Donald Trump. Of these hundreds running, only 37 will make it to Cleveland as Republican delegates from Colorado.
The primary process is confusing to many of us. I am wading through the process my state uses, and it is clear...as mud. The devil is in the little details that are missing, like the fact that not all polling places will be the same as usual. If I want to vote in the primary here I will have to do absentee ballot, and wonder if my vote is counted or drive 240 miles round trip to the polling place. Our normal polling place here will not be open for the primary. The odd thing is if you look on the Sec. of State website it shows our normal polling place as being where to go, but that is not correct.
I have voted regularly, but not in Presidential primaries because the choice was already made before our primary so I did not see the point of driving so far to vote.
It is news to most people I talk to that regular polling places may not be where you go to vote in the primary, the whole system may be new to most since our primary vote for President in many states has never mattered before.
I would assume if you live in a state that normally matters in the primary process you would be more familiar with how it all works.
You are in New Mexico, right.
It looks rather vague, but there are some key dates listed on this website. Be sure to scroll down the page.

I went to your SOS NM site and there was a link for maps and boundary adjustments and phone numbers for help.

I’ve lived in a few states and have typically not had a problem with finding the poll. It’s the bureaucratic vote fraud that has become a pet peeve.
And so many people on FR act like people that don't know the process chapter and verse must be new voters or idiots.
I have a friend that has served as a NM delegate in the past and she brushes off all the primary complaints by saying primaries are for the party to choose their nominee, not for the voters to choose.
I bet she’s lovin’ Colorado, eh.
I know where we have to go to vote, my issue is our usual polling place is right down the road. To vote in the Republican primary I will have to drive 120 miles each way to my designated primary polling place. That is my gripe.
This year our County Clerk sent out notices, but the online search to find our polling place shows our normal local polling place, which is not correct.
“Douglas County resident Larry Wayne Lindsey didn’t understand the rules, shirked his own responsibilities, and leapt to inaccurate conclusions:”
Didn’t understand, shirked...responsibilities and leapt to inaccurate conclusions?
Well, he should feel right at home with many other Trump supporters
Maybe, Ted ought to save hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting these court challenges!
How, you might ask?
Simple, spend under a hundred dollars and un-seal and release the paper trail documenting Ted’s past history, and that of his mother.
easy peasy, unless Lyin ted is trying to hide something
Nice to hear your are dreaming your life away, inside a warm and comfy fantasy.
Buh Bye
finally a CT poll ... TRump close to 50% which would give him a winner take all ... proportional is nobody gets 50%.
Kasich, a dumb campaign.
Sanders is on local TV with ads.
Well I hope he gets under 50%.
Gay’s itch did his bit winning Ohio, I doubt he’ll do anything else. He might even team up with Trump for the VP spot or something. He’s scum.
I believe your indignation is misdirected. Check Theo’s tag line and posting history. S/he isn’t a Trump cultist.
thanks for posting that. looks like Larry is going to get treated to a “Joe the Plumber” attack from the Cruz/GOP campaign. GOP = democrats
pinging you to GPH post - thought you might be interested in this.
Lyin’ Ted and his Lyin’ supporters have been reduced to slandering good men to protect thier stealing the vote. You should be ashamed of what you have become.
hope you weren’t including me in that...? i’m on Larry’s side, and Joe’s.
