To narrow the field, each presidential campaign printed up slates listing the national delegate candidates [from Colorado] that they had endorsed. Those slates were handed out by volunteers at the convention.
But the slates put out by the Trump campaign contained numerous errors when it matched names to ballot numbers. At the Congressional District 7 convention Thursday night where three convention delegates were selected, the slate printed by the Trump campaign contained the names of two delegate candidates supporting Trump who weren’t even running in that district.
On the first slate printed by Trump campaign for Saturday’s election — which detailed the names and ballot numbers of 26 people who were running to be Trump delegates at the convention — more than a half dozen names were listed with inaccurate ballot numbers.
The Trump campaign printed a second slate that was meant to correct the corresponding numbers and names that were wrong on the first slate. But there were mistakes on the second as well.
The campaigns of Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich did not have the same problems — suggesting that the mistakes could have amounted to printing errors by the Trump campaign on their slates.
