Joe Oltmann, who in December called for Democratic Governor Jared Polis to be hanged, was briefly nominated for governor by delegates at the Colorado Republican Party’s state assembly on Saturday. The motion from the floor was seconded by state Rep. Patrick Neville of Castle Rock, a former House minority leader, Colorado Public Radio reported.
In a speech, Oltmann declined to pursue the nomination, instead urging delegates to throw their support behind two of his allies: U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Ron Hanks and secretary of state hopeful Tina Peters, the indicted Mesa County Clerk and Recorder, according to The Colorado Sun. Both have joined Oltmann in spreading conspiracy theories alleging widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
Oltmann got what he wanted. Peters and Hanks both earned the most votes from the 3,749 GOP assembly delegates at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs, securing the top ballot lines for their respective June 28 primaries and dealing a blow to a party establishment that had aligned itself against both candidates.
“Party leaders and campaign advisors warned candidates nationwide not to speak about election integrity. Candidates more focused on opportunism and personal advancement listened,” Hanks wrote in a Wednesday Facebook post claiming former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election. “I didn’t listen — because I didn’t ask.”
Meanwhile, Greg Lopez, a third-place finisher in the 2018 Republican primary for governor, narrowly edged out University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl, 34.3% to 32.6%, giving Lopez the top ballot line when the two battle head-to-head in this year’s gubernatorial primary.
Ganahl has repeatedly dodged questions about whether she believes the election was legitimate, but she has praised a prominent Colorado-based election denial group, U.S. Election Integrity Plan, as “doing great things.”

And for literally decades, the Establishment had control of these nominating processes.
No longer.
So we won't be looking at a lot of mealy-mouthed pantywaists basically nodding as Democrats speak on agenda items.
We're going to see real conflict on policy ideas. And the people will be able to make "a choice, not an echo."
Just imagine in WWII if all of your embedded spies in the enemy camp were exposed (that's what happened to RINOs in 2020) and subsequently eliminated (that's what going to happen politically to the RINOs in the primaries this year).
I can't wait for the payback that is coming to these smug RINO traitors who handed the Steal to the Democrats on a platter because of their petty hatred of Trump.
Yet the far left wing doesn’t exist, even though it governs us.
Take every precinct that is red or purple. Every office available.
Yes. That’s why I can’t wait for the May 24 primary here in Georgia where we will boot Governor Kemp and SoS Raffensperger from the general election ticket.
We need more winning like this.
Kemp has been taking his time about signing the constitutional carry bill into law. I agree fully with the bill, but he’s taking his time so he can have the wind in his sails as close to the primary as is possible.
It’s just politics. The gun issue is huge here in Georgia, and I think it will get him across the finish line.
Not with me. I’m voting AGAINST him and I’m encouraging everyone I know to vote against him in his Primary May 24. He just let an election integrity bill die (sine die) that would have helped in stopping some of the election fraud. That man has to go, period.
In short, delegates happy - leadership had a horrendous day, and didn't get their picks selected except for worthless John Kellner for AG.
State GOP “leadership” were put on notice Friday, when Ken Buck thought he would be running unopposed for CD4. A floor nomination for a second candidate (Lewis) was put forth. Lewis gave a great speech, and ended up winning the assembly by a wide margin over Buck.
In fact, Buck only got 38% of the vote. He was 9% away from falling under 30% and not qualifying for the primary ballot.
That would have sent enormous shock waves throughout Colorado, as the party elite realized their power elite days were over.
And what did we have before Ken Buck? Cory Gardner.
The Colorado GOP is nothing but Associate Democraps. That’s it. They hate Trump and all he stood for. The Colorado GOP is corrupt.
‘Far Right Wing’?
When someone calls for a member of the other party to be hanged, I think “Far Left/Right” is a fair label.
This is not simply the far right, but the ultra, extreme, fringe, far, far, far right.
“a prominent Colorado-based election denial group”
This is what tolerating leftist language demands leads to. Now it’s not just “climate deniers” or “vaccine deniers”, if we want free and fair elections, we are labelled “election deniers”.
Depends on if it’s a legal or an extra-legal hanging they are calling for.
Yep. Aside from Mitch miraculously stopping Merrick Garland what did the GOPe do to stop Obama. Obama got everything he wanted.
