Colorado would go back to holding a presidential primary under a bill that's expected to be introduced this week, after Democrat and Republican voters complained that caucuses, held in March, left them out of the nominating process. The idea has Gov. John Hickenlooper's support, even though it might mean the state picks up the cost.

Th last Colorado bill stopped in May of 2015 by the Republicans in committee was for an Open Primary.

Remember the days when we wanted our primaries closed?

The existing (non-presidential) primaries are technically closed; but since you can change affiliation just before the primary, and since doing so only takes a couple of minutes at the Secretary of State's website, they are practically open, anyway.
