Colorado Caucus Volunteers: Ballot Errors Hurt Trump Delegate Candidates <tr>

Volunteers at the Colorado Republican Assembly are coming forward with evidence to indicate that their state’s delegate selection process was riddled with errors that disadvantaged some Donald Trump supporters who were running to become national delegates.

The errors could have violated state bylaws significantly enough that some of the results could be contested, according to the volunteers.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took all 34 of Colorado’s delegates last week in a process that closed down traditional caucus voting to the public.

A handful of volunteers spoke to Breitbart News about the process.

“I’m the former Chairman of the Pueblo County Republican Party and the person who developed the Slates for National Delegates for the Trump team. The Colorado GOP website was filled with errors posted about the National Delegates,” Nancy Mizel told Breitbart News.

Mizel took a photograph of a ballot in Congressional District 7 that included ONLY the ballot numbers of delegate candidates, NOT the names of the candidates as required by state bylaws.

But Article Xiii of the Colorado Republican Convention bylaws (Assemblies and Conventions Section A) show that a delegate candidate must be identified alongside the name of the presidential candidate that he or she is pledged to support, so long as the delegate candidate discloses that information:

Pssshh. Ballot errors that cheat one candidate out of delegate candidates are just part of the process. If Trump can’t figure this out, then it’s his own fault and he deserved to lose.

Just wondering since your FR account has been SUSPENDED, how you are able to post?

I guess Trump’s supporters might as well stay home in November since the Colorado Republican party doesn’t want there votes.

The Colorado Republican Party owner of the account deleted it within three minutes, I believe I heard.

In other words, they lied about losing control of the account. Just like Ted crLuzer lies about everything...

Its not about Trump. The voters have been disenfranchised by a party who cheats and rigs the rules in order to pick a certain delegation.

I do think trump will amplify the idea of criminalizing conservatism that was begun on the left.

Your graphic is a great show of that hostility.

Trump didn't even show up to speak in Co. His delegates had misspelled names on the ballot. The ballot was there for everyone to see long before they voted. It was as if no one cared about Co. or they thought Trump would just run the table. Co. was Trump's fault,...period! Trump didn't even try.

This speaks to what anti Trumpers have been saying for a while now. He doesn't even know how the system works. He won't be able to call Putin names and win or force himself on trade agreements without consequences. Obama is doing the same thing by bypassing the Congress and Constitution as a dictator. Trump won't be allowed to get away with this. Hillary might, as a woman, but I think Obama has used all the fascist juice for the near future. Trump has even talked about moving his kids into the Cabinet, but now we find out they are registered as Dems and forgot to switch to Rep to even vote this time as a Rep. Cruz's "ground game" is 10X better than Trump's and has already lined up the delegates to vote for him on the second ballot at the Convention BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY THE RULES WORK!!! Ignorance of the rules is no excuse.

I'm sure they have a team of experts working round the clock to get to the bottom of this.
