Colorado Republican party members have threatened to switch its primary election process to a caucus system. This announcement comes after The Centennial State’s Supreme Court blocked former President Trump from appearing on the primary ballot.
On Tuesday evening, the official Colorado GOP account on X, the platform formally known as Twitter, replied to a comment on Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s video post where he pledged to “withdraw” from Colorado GOP primary amid Trump’s disqualification.
The account indicated that the Party was looking into the possibility of altering the way that Coloradans vote.
“You won’t have to because we will withdraw from the Primary as a Party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand.”
Additionally, Dave Williams, the state’s GOP party chair, rehashed the sentiment in an interview with The Colorado Sun. He told the outlet that if the former president is not on the ballot, then the Colorado GOP “will ignore the primary” results.
In a X (Twitter) Spaces event, he also spoke about his feelings regarding the decision.
“’I’m not going to let these sons of b*tches dictate who we’re going to nominate,” Williams asserted.
The Trump campaign has indicated its plans to appeal the ruling and for it to move to the U.S. Supreme Court. Currently, the court holds a 6-3 conservative majority. Three of the justices on the court were nominated by the 45th president.

How might the legal battle surrounding former President Trump’s disqualification from the primary ballot impact the Colorado Republican Party’s primary election
Colorado Republican Party Threatens to Switch Primary Election Process
The Colorado Republican Party has threatened to switch its primary election process to a caucus system following a decision by the state’s Supreme Court to block former President Trump from appearing on the primary ballot. The announcement was made after Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican presidential candidate, pledged to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary due to Trump’s disqualification.
On Tuesday evening, the official Colorado GOP account on Twitter responded to a comment on Ramaswamy’s video post, stating that the party was considering changing the voting system. The account suggested that if the disqualification of Trump stood, the party would withdraw from the primary and convert to a pure caucus system.
The party’s chair, Dave Williams, reiterated this sentiment in an interview with The Colorado Sun. He stated that if Trump is not on the ballot, the GOP will ignore the primary results. Williams also expressed his frustration with the decision, asserting that he will not let others dictate the party’s nominee.
The Trump campaign has indicated plans to appeal the ruling and bring the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which currently holds a conservative majority. Three of the justices on the court were nominated by the 45th president.
It is important to note that this decision by the Colorado Republican Party could have significant implications for the state’s primary election process. Switching to a caucus system would mean a departure from the traditional primary and could potentially impact voter turnout and participation.
As the legal battle continues, it remains to be seen how this issue will be resolved and what the implications will be for the Colorado GOP and its primary election. In the meantime, stakeholders and voters alike will be closely watching the developments to stay informed about the changing landscape of the political process in Colorado.
