Colorado GOP says no race changed: Delegates and experts point to broader system failures

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice They came to Pueblo to vote. Instead, many spent hours in the cold, waiting. At the April 12 Colorado Republican state assembly, delegates stood in line outside the Massari Event Center early Saturday morning as credentialing stalled. Some leaned on canes. Others searched for places to sit. What was expected to be a long but routine day quickly turned into something else. In the days since the assembly, that experience has taken on new weight. For party officials, the issue has been explained. For many who were there, it raised deeper concerns. Party says results stand In the days following the assembly, questions focused on an 80-ballot discrepancy between the number of votes cast and the official credentialing report. Colora...

He lost once. Now he’s back: Why David Willson jumped into Colorado’s AG race late

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice For ten years, David Willson stood in Colorado courtrooms defending parents accused of neglect—many of them homeless, addicted or on the verge of losing their children.

Yes, we are having a Republican State Assembly

By Brita Horn | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Over the past several days, a new and unfounded rumor has begun circulating, suggesting that the Republican Party of Colorado does not intend to hold a State Assembly in 2026. This claim is false. It contradicts our legal obligations, it misrepresents our planning, and it has no basis in any action ever taken by this organization. As Chair of the Republican Party of Colorado, I want our members to hear directly from me: we are holding a State Assembly. We always have been. It is also important to recognize that within our party, there are strong and varied opinions about Colorado’s caucus and assembly system.  Some view it as a vital grassroots mechanism that ensures candidates earn support directly from engag...
