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:

“He is the sorest winner I’ve ever seen in my life.”
That’s not your problem, your problem is the 8 million “sore loser” Trump voters. Keep pushing your candidate to run through July, and then tell me how it worked out for you in November !!
By the time this is over, U.S. elections will be the brunt of Nigerian late night standup comics.
Trump screwed up. End of story.
Check my tagline. I'm of a different religion than you.
You completely evaded the question.
See the tag line.
News Flash!
U.S. Presidential Election has been CANCELLED!
Paul Ryan has accepted the Presidency.
Cruz supporters are cheering in the streets!
The fraud going on here is the idea that Cruz or anyone else cheated in Colorado.
There was no secret plan to NOT have a larger general electorate caucus vote.
That is a brazen lie regularly promoted by Trump and his supporters anytime they come out on the losing side of ANYTHING.
Trump never loses anything. It is always “stolen” from him.
All caucuses, democrat and republican since the beginning of the Republic have features where whoever loses thinks it was not fair.
But I have never seen someone who is winning the majority of delegates behave like such a childish brute anytime he loses even part of this larger game.
This game is rigged to favor Trump because he is the front runner. The media have given him tons of free air time that effectively crushes big money operations like Jeb Bush.
Donald Trump is not being cheated and I wish his supporters would stop dwelling in the same victim culture that destroys individualism as the rest of our nation.
I hope and work toward a goal of Cruz being President.
I am sure you will keep me posted on that goal.
That is completely untrue.
If Trump supporters believe one third of the nonsense being spouted on this board then they need to run third party.
Both political parties are corrupt but if this is so rigged and broken then run third party.
Its been done and I think Trump might even win.
But stop dominating this game while at the same time crying like college children on university campuses when rival candidates who observe the rule of law by pursuing delegates as specified win in various locations.
Donald Trump is not being cheated in the RNC primary process.
Come on. You know you wish Cruz had actually won the primaries in the states he is stealing the delegates. Then it would really mean something because he would have been selected by the will of most of the people.
Way to go, Rooster-R!
YES, Colorado WAS Rigged. Breitbart found a smoking gun:
‘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.’
[Article Xiii of the Colorado Republican Convention bylaws, Assemblies and Conventions Section A.]
We have them so many ways now on Colorado.
Stick a fork in it — the Cruz ‘delegate hunt’ is now a stinking carcass.

I’ll add more context here in posts to ‘all’.
This should become the definitive thread of the Cruz delegate hunt.
‘Both political parties are corrupt but if this is so rigged and broken then run third party.’
Most of us had no clue how screwed up this delegate system is. Mind boggling. [details coming up.]
And I’m rapidly losing respect for straw poll systems too.

‘Under regulations established in the 1980s, delegates cannot take money from corporations, labor unions, federal contractors or foreign nationals. But an individual donor is permitted to give a delegate unlimited sums to support his or her efforts to get selected to go to the convention, including money to defray the costs of travel and lodging...’

These delegates were cheated fair and square.
“ssshh. 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.”
Exactly. Colorado’s rules about ballot irregularities and shutting Trump out were ‘well known’ many weeks prior to the fraud....errr...a...vote.
