So in CO is there a named slate of delegates per candidate printed on the ballot?
Check this out. Wiki, so not definitive. But it is a very complex process.
Wiki is pretty accurate from what I understand. CO is a caucus state but candidates have an option to get on a ballot by petition if they want to forgo the caucus.
You’re right, it is complex but easily understood once you’ve gone through it once. But, as I said, each state has its own quirks as to how they get to the end.
I strongly recommend everyone get involved in the grass root aspects of our party. We can complain but change comes from this ground up efforts.
