Well, here's the process: there is a caucus, in which any registered Republican may participate, to vote on delegates or to run as a delegate. These delegates go to the county and district caucuses, where some of them are selected by vote to go on as state delegates at the Colorado state convention, where delegates to the national convention are selected. By vote.

I see three "votes" in that process and the fourth would be what they do at the national convention. Only one of those four votes directly reflects the will of the people.

Only one of those four votes directly reflects the will of the people.

And even that vote does not reflect the will of the people, since they did not know which candidate any of the delegates would support.

Furthermore, according to the rules the CO GOP set up in August, the delegates were supposed to remain unbound until the national convention, so that they would be free to vote their choice then.

In any case, what happened in CO stank. The GOP in CO realizes that--I saw an article where CO is now talking about going to a primary process from now on.
