At the risk of being redundant, I am posting the RNC rule which resulted in the Colorado GOP changing their rules.
RULE NO. 16
Election, Selection, Allocation, or Binding of Delegates and Alternate Delegates
(a) Binding and Allocation.
(1) Any statewide presidential preference vote that permits a choice among candidates for the Republican
nomination for President of the United States in a primary, caucuses, or a state convention must be used to allocate and bind the
state’s delegation to the national convention in either a proportional or winner-take-all manner, except for delegates and alternate
delegates who appear on a ballot in a statewide election and are elected directly by primary voters.
(2) The Secretary of the Convention shall faithfully announce and record each delegate’s vote in accordance
with the delegate’s obligation under these rules, state law or state party rule. If any delegate bound by these rules, state party rule
or state law to vote for a presidential candidate at the national convention demonstrates support under Rule 40 for any person
other than the candidate to whom he or she is bound, such support shall not be recognized. Except as provided for by state law or
state party rule, no presidential candidate shall have the power to remove a delegate.
The Colorado GOP did not want to be bound by the will of the voters of a presidential preference poll. Had they done the election, they would have been required to allocate the delegates based upon the voting.
The Colorado wanted to not be stuck with the will of the people.
It is time to point out that Colorado has not gone Republican since 2004. As a swing state, the Colorado GOP should be attempting to involve more voters in the primary. This does not bode well for this state turning RED in November, no matter which nominee comes from our convention due to the insular nature of the Colorado state party leadership.
Sad state of affairs.
You really don’t know what you are talking about. Before you spout off, perhaps you should do a little research and find out how Colorado goes about deciding on delegates.
If you actually do that research, you will NOT FIND IN ANY OTHER STATE, a more grass roots, voter driven system to assign delegates.
