Colorado has decided that the only people who should be allowed to pick the Republican Party’s presidential nominee are Democrat legislators and judges.
And so the initial totalitarian overreach descends into grim farce.
Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams told The Colorado Sun on Tuesday night that if Trump isn’t on the ballot, the party would ask the state to cancel the Republican presidential primary. Instead, Republican voters would caucus to select delegates to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next year.
But Colorado’s Democrat regime refuses to cancel the primary and let GOP voters caucus.
Williams told The Sun that if Trump isn’t on the ballot and the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office won’t cancel the Republican presidential primary, “we will ignore the primary” results.
Nope, that can’t be allowed to happen either.
The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office said the Colorado GOP couldn’t withdraw from the presidential primary and that it has doubts about whether the party can ignore the primary results.
It is the Republican primary, isn’t it? Except the current position of Colorado’s Dem rulers and the media is that Republicans can’t have anything to do with the Republican primary.
The Colorado Secretary of State is Jena Griswold: a leftist Dem funded by out-of-state donors who fundraised off Trump being a threat to democracy.
Jena Griswold she sent out a fundraising letter, falsely accusing President Trump of an “assault on democracy”
The actual threat to democracy, in an unsurprising twist, turned out to be the leftist.

If you had RTFA you would have learned that "...Colorado’s Democrat regime refuses to cancel the primary and let GOP voters caucus."
Colorado politics has gone crazy. I can’t believe the stuff I hear coming out of that state. We all thought California was bad, Colorado is giving that state a run for its money!
Ignore the ruling and write in Trump or have right-leaning auditors print ballots with Trump as an option.
Cannot possibly be legal.
Once again, the Constitution gives the State Legislatures absolute power over the selection of the State’s Electors. Political parties are not mentioned, nor are primary elections.
Soap box
Jury box
Ballot box
We’ll see how 2024 shapes up. I expect the Democrats to reach too far to basically cancel the election without literally cancelling the election. People won’t stand for it. There are more than 3 boxes in the world.
If you would have lived in the state of Colorado as a native, like me - then you would have known that the state party absolutely controls the primary. The Demonrats have no say in how another literal corporation runs its governance.
Republican primary elections are a relatively new thing in our state. The caucus system is alive and well - in fact, I'll be leading the caucus meeting for my precinct...
Well, with over 14 million questionable foreigners crossing our Southern border in the last 3 years, why should they not make these fearless pronouncements?
Damn. They legalized marijuana and Colorado when full ignorant.
bkmk
Not the Bee??!!
I bet California is pissed they didn’t think about this before Colorado.
Remember when AntiFa said they would hold “Punch a Nazi”
days?
I wanna sign up.
OK ... I understand what you're saying here. But in this matter, the Legislature wouldn't even need to bring the case. They should have on their own the power to decide how to run the election. Whether as a matter of jurisdiction or of standing, the CO court is way out of line getting involved the way it did.
Where courts could be involved (IMO) is when the State boards of elections are not running the election the way the Legislature told them to. That was an issue in 2020 and will no doubt be an issue next year. I don't see it applying in this matter, however.
Nope, this isn't Not the Bee. Excellent summation of where we are at by Mr. Greenfield.

So, worst case, GOP has to hold a primary without Trump and select a candidate. When the convention comes around, whoever the primary winner is should release his delegates to “vote their conscience.” They can then vote for anyone, and especially the Donald.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
ALL that the d@m dems have is either political hardball or lawfare.
That’s it.
