"Colorado GOP's Controversial Move: Ignoring Primary Results Amid Trump Ballot Dispute"

The Colorado Republican Party has threatened to abandon the primary election and switch to a caucus system if the decision to disqualify Donald Trump from the state's Republican primary ballot is upheld. The party's chairman, Dave Williams, expressed frustration with the court's decision and vowed to ignore the primary results if necessary. However, the Colorado Department of State clarified that state law does not allow the party to withdraw from or cancel the primary. The Colorado Supreme Court has put its ruling on hold until January 4, allowing the Trump campaign to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Trump's Ballot Eligibility Sparks GOP's Switch to Caucus in Colorado and Other States"

The Colorado Republican Party is considering switching to a caucus system for its presidential contest if Donald Trump remains ineligible to appear on the state's primary ballot due to a recent Colorado Supreme Court ruling. This switch would require permission from the national Republican Party and cooperation from the Colorado Secretary of State's Office. The party would need to request a waiver from the Republican National Committee to award delegates based on caucus results. The outcome and timing of a potential U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Trump's eligibility remain uncertain. If the switch occurs, it would be a significant logistical challenge to expand the existing statewide caucuses in a short timeframe.

Colorado GOP Launches Lawsuit to Block Unaffiliated Voters from Primaries

The Colorado GOP has filed a federal lawsuit in an attempt to block unaffiliated voters from participating in the party's 2024 primaries. The party argues that allowing unaffiliated voters to cast ballots in partisan primaries is unconstitutional and has had an outcome-determinative impact on previous Republican primary elections. The lawsuit comes as the party's leaders consider a bylaws amendment that would make it easier for Republicans to opt out of Colorado's primaries altogether. The lawsuit is being represented by attorney John Eastman, who previously worked with Donald Trump on election-related lawsuits.
