Members of the Colorado Republican Party central committee voted by an overwhelming margin on Saturday to keep Dave Williams as the state GOP's chairman — contradicting an equally lopsided vote a week earlier to fire Williams at a meeting called by the former state lawmaker's opponents within the party.
Neither outcome was a surprise, since only a handful of Williams' supporters attended the meeting last Saturday at a church in Brighton, while a similar small number of Williams' critics showed up to vote at this weekend's gathering at a church in Castle Rock.
The two meetings were virtual mirror images of one another, with each deciding that a different Colorado Springs Republican was the state party's legitimately elected chairman — that'd be Williams, according to Saturday's meeting, and Eli Bremer, a former El Paso County GOP chairman, according to the meeting held a week earlier.
Republicans at last Saturday's meeting in Brighton voted to cancel this Saturday's meeting in Castle Rock, while the Republicans who met in Castle Rock voted to declare that the previous Saturday's meeting in Brighton was invalid, and any actions taken at the meeting would have no effect.

Bottoms said it wasn’t surprising there was a backlash from the establishment wing of the GOP.
“The liberal Republicans cannot stand that,” Bottoms said.
I guess, Harris electors in CO are safe.
I do not think that Trump will even try there.
It is really bad, that there is a split right before election.
In AZ, there was similar split, but we all agreed to burry the hatchets for now, and work together to elect all the Republicans who won the primaries.
It does not look like this in CO.
“Leadership dispute continues as Dave Williams supporters vote Saturday to keep him as Colorado GOP chairman”
either way, it’s all simply rearranging deck chairs: the GOP in Colorado is moribund ...
Williams is conservative.
