Are you aware that the Colorado delegates (correct term and usage) go to the state GOP convention and vote on a number of issues OTHER THAN just the 37 delegates to go to the national GOP convention? Are you aware that this is a GOP internal PARTY caucus and not an election? Are you aware that parties are allowed to have their own rules with regards how they wish to organize and administer their party? The Constitutional authority comes from the 1st Amendment’s freedom to peacefully assemble.

There are many issues that get voted on at the Colorado State convention, every thing from local rule changes, positions to be taken by the party on legislation, party platform, even officer changes can be considered. As such, what gets elected on caucus night is not just and elector, they are truly delegates that represent the precinct at the state convention. Delegates remain as delegates (likewise Precinct Captains) until the next caucus. It is possible, though unlikely that a second state convention could be assembled or called. In such cases the delegates or their alternate would be expected to represent their precinct.

And lastly, your whole premise that the Constitution has control over the party nomination process is incorrect. We are NOT in elections at this time, we are nominating candidates that will be voted on during the election.

Yes but if “Your State” wants a candidate named Bob Smith or even named Republican Bob Smith, and “Other State” wishes to vote for that person, then private RNC in “Any State” cannot interfere.

That is tampering with a Federal Election, very well defined in the US Constitution. It matters not when, where, private or public.

Limiting other States’ access to that person is a crime.

It is done through a criminal Monopoly, which I won’t explain.
