Colorado Caucus Volunteers: Ballot Errors Hurt Trump Delegate Candidates <tr>
Breitbart.com ^ | Patrick Howley

Posted on 04/15/2016 9:35:08 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

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:

[This should be the difining thread of the Cruz delegate hunt. We now have a ‘smoking gun’ regarding Colorado.]

Kabar:

Based on my long experience with GOP politics, I posit that most of the delegates are not Trump or Cruz supporters. They are GOPe types. That is how most of the delegates are selected. They are long time party apparatchiks who are rewarded by being delegates to the national convention. Usually, it is a time to party and have fun.

Colorado Republicans Passed Around “Resolution to Deny Trump Delegates” Back on March 22

‘... and The Colorado Republican Party asks its delegates to national convention to pledge on their honor to do everything in their power to help secure the presidential nomination for someone other than Donald Trump.’

[Note the last words — ‘other than Trump’. Only exibit needed to prove that Cruz is just their cats’ paw.]

"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."

Translates to:

Kabar is a DC lobbyist who worked with Senator Sessions on immigration as I understand it. He’s one of a small number of patriotic insiders who post here.

So when he describes the delegate system, you are right to listen.

Just as Cruz supporters cheered him over Colorado, Cruz stepped backwards into an open sewer hole.

Even Rush Limbaugh cheered him right before Cruz fell with arms flailing.

“Splash!”

This woman is just another example of why we should ban the cretins from the Middle East all the way around to India. Whether their sexual choice is camels or elephants, they are really the same $hit under the skin. And the plus would be that we wouldno longer have them crowding their way around at Costco!

What other candidates are or have been trying to steal delegates? I have not seen Trump, Carson, Rubio, Kasich or any of the others try to steal delegates. The only one is Cruz. He has earned the name “weasel”.

I see nothing grand in tyring to build an army of two-faced ‘double agent’ delegates. And according to kabar, many delegates are professional part time mercenaries to begin with. They know how to ‘play the game’.

Trump Supporters Walk Out of Georgia Delegate Fight After Party Picks Cruz Supporter...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3421714/posts

Donald Trump supporters walked out of a delegate election in Georgia Saturday to protest a vote that robbed Trump of all of his slated delegates from a district that he won in the primary.

A Cruz-Rubio alliance at the district convention in Buford, Georgia helped to knock Trump supporters out of the district’s national delegation altogether. Cruz supporters implied that Trump’s people would “embarrass” the district at the convention in Cleveland. Then things got heated.

“This morning, I attended Georgia 7th Congressional District GOP convention as a delegate and a Donald Trump supporter. We were there to elect the 3 delegates and 3 alternates to the national convention,” Ronnie Kurtz told Breitbart News. “Per the primary results, two slots were for Trump, and one was for Rubio. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% Cruz finished third in the primary and had no delegates allotted to him…Nonetheless, the hall was stacked with Cruz delegates.”
