STATEMENT OF POSITION BY CONTESTANTS AGAINST THE

COLORADO AT-LARGE DELEGATION TO THE 2016 REPUBLICAN


NATIONAL CONVENTION

Synopsis
The principles embedded in our partys platform form the foundation for this
contest.
Honest elections are the foundation of representative government

Every time that a fraudulent vote is cast, it effectively candles out the vote
of a legitimate voter.
We call on every citizen, elected official, and member of the judiciary to
preserve the integrity of the vote.
We recognize that having a physical verification of the vote is the best way
to ensure a fair election. Let ambition counter ambition, as James Madison
said. When all parties have representatives observing the counting of ballots
in a transparent process, integrity is assured.
Indeed, the fundamental purpose of the Convention Rules, rules of order and the
credentialing process is to ensure the integrity of the elections of delegates
permitted to vote at the Convention. Through its pervasive, knowing, and continued
violations of its bylaws, the April 9 Convention standing meeting rules, and state
laws, the Colorado Republican Party conducted an eminently unfair election of
delegates.
The flawed election results are marred by both unintentional material errors,
flagrant violations, and conscious bias on the part of the CRC to benefit the official

Page 1

Cruz slate. That 16-member official slate won all 13 delegate seats and the top
three alternate seats, and benefitted from the CRCs favorable treatment and from
the ensuing confusion and chaos.
National media exposed the chaotic and highly irregular balloting practices during
Colorados April 8-9 Congressional District and State Conventions. Exhibit 1.
Hundreds of voting delegates left the conventions disgusted by the practices
employed, knowing that the partys principles of fair elections had been
compromised.
Despite the purported large margins of victory of the official Cruz slate delegates,
the error-riddled election must not be permitted to stand. To fail to decertify the
delegation would make a mockery of the RNCs election standards, and would
reward election manipulation. The Contestants do not claim to be the sole rightful
delegates for the five seats in which they seek to serve. Instead, they are
representatives of the hundreds of candidates who were disenfranchised, or harmed
by the unequal treatment from the party, or who were negatively impacted by
material errors in the balloting process that cause the true will of the state
convention delegates to be unknowable. The rightful owners of any of the delegate
seats is undeterminable because of the flawed processes employed.
Through this Statement of Position the Constants have presented abundant
evidence of election irregularities (Rules and bylaws violations) that calls into
question the results of the Convention election. Important additional information,
needed for a full assessment by this Committee, has been improperly withheld from
the Contestants.
First, the balloting processes violated the most fundamental election bylaw
requirement to print names and affiliation of candidates on the ballot. Once the
State Party decided to circumvent this basic ballot format rule by only printing

Page 2

assigned numbers on the ballots, a host of errors, irregularities and violations


naturally resulted. The failure to produce an official list of candidate names and
assigned numbers further exacerbated the failures of the numbers-only ballot.
Contestants have located nine different CRC-prepared ballot number lists and
supplements, each with different and frequently conflicting information.
Contestants believe that more lists were likely issued by CRC, creating unavoidable
voter confusion. Material non-compliant and chaotic balloting methods are grossly
unfair to all candidates and voters, save those who have undue influence with the
State Party to advance and protect their candidates slate.
Second, the ballot tabulation process appears to have been materially inaccurate
with a likely impact on the outcome, given the thin margins that separate the atlarge delegates from the alternates. At least 136 votes were counted for unassigned
numbers in a manner to suggest ballot scanner or software problems. 2,132 votes
were invalidated for purported over-votes that may have actually been a result of
scanner or software problems. The Teller Committee did not attempt to validate
such votes. The State Party and their vendor have refused to permit review of the
ballots or ballot images to verify the count.
Third, the State Party gave improper favorable treatment to the official Cruz
campaign slate in numerous material ways resulting in a likely positive impact on
the election outcome. The unfavorable treatment of all other candidates
significantly injured all Contestant candidates creating an almost impossible
obstacle to winning a seat. The collective actions of the State Party in favoring the
Cruz official slate over all other candidates violates the spirit and provisions of the
pre-convention neutrality clauses in the state party bylaws.
Fourth, ineligible candidates were not excluded, and their vote totals were certified,
taking significant votes from eligible candidates. For example, there were 1,190
votes counted for ineligible candidates from Denver County who had not paid their

Page 3

convention fees.
Fifth, the wrongful certification of the at-large delegation was a willful act by State
Party officials, who were engaged in a pattern of deceptive certifications of
Congressional Districts 2,3,4 and 5. The above four issues also plagued the
Congressional District delegate elections of the preceding day, April 8, where fraud
has been credibly demonstrated in one district. Numerous complaints and protests
have been filed with the state party and the Executive Committee, which refused to
investigate or refer the alleged fraud to the Attorney General. False certifications
were made in CDs 2,3,4 and 5 where the conventions delegates were precluded
from objecting to irregularities as no Tellers report was permitted.
Sixth, the rights of the members to object and attempt corrections during the
meeting was obstructed as essential, required parliamentary procedures and
meeting rules were ignored.
Seventh, the cumulative weight of numerous other subsidiary and related violations
of rules and laws combined to exacerbate an unfair and unverifiable election.
The CRCs pervasive violations of state law, rules and bylaws created an
environment in which no fair and proper election result could be achieved. The RNC
must not condone elections where governing rules and fairness are abandoned for
political gains.

STATEMENT OF POSITION BY CONTESTANTS AGAINST THE COLORADO


AT-LARGE DELEGATION TO THE 2016 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTION

Contested delegates should be decertified because the delegates and


alternates were chosen in a manner that violates numerous bylaws, Rules of the
Republican National Convention, CRC meeting Rules, rules of order, and the laws
of the State of Colorado (XX), and fails to reflect the clear will of the Colorado
Convention.
I.

Facts

A. Names and pledged status were not printed on the face of the ballots

The failure to meet the most basic ballot layout requirements and related
rules and bylaws created a fatal flaw from which the election could not recover.
Fundamental election principles and CRC Bylaw Article XIII 5c require that the
ballot include on its face the presidential candidate pledge for each delegate
candidate or indicate that the candidate is unpledged. The April 9, 2016, State
Convention Rules (CO Rules) (Exhibit 2) also require that the ballot shall include
the presidential preference of those so pledging. (CO Rule 7.4(b)) Ballots must
include the name of the candidate to reduce risk of error, voter confusion, and fraud.
CRC officials made the affirmative decision to exclude the candidates required
names and pledged information from the face of the at-large state ballots and CDs

Page 5

2, 3, 4, and 5 ballots. The at-large ballot contained only target areas for voting
(ovals) and a series of numbers 1 through 948 (Exhibit 1) assigned to 636
candidates. The resulting confusion, errors, misprinted official candidate lists, and
misprinted campaign materials, and unequal treatment of candidates as described
herein created a materially inaccurate and flawed election.
No supplemental ballot lists can mitigate for excluding the candidates
name on the face of the ballot. The lists can be, and were in this case, incomplete,
misprinted and unavailable to voters. Campaigns can harm targeted delegates
intentionally or unintentionally by misprinting the candidate number on campaign
materials.
In a failed attempt to compensate for the improper and purposeful exclusion
of candidate names from the ballot, the convention program listed the candidates
through number 588. This program was distributed at credentialing. An additional
ballot supplement booklet listing 595 candidate names, pledged information, and
ballot numbers was distributed to all delegates during balloting. A third one-page
ballot supplement addendum with similar information for additional candidates
who were purportedly excluded from the ballot supplement booklet was distributed
separately during ballot issuance. A fourth supplemental list of ballot numbers was
projected on the screen for a brief period, after ballots had been distributed and
voting had begun. A fifth list of 7 selected candidates and ballot numbers left out of
the program was projected on the convention screen. CRCs failure to disclose the
names of 48 candidates until just as voting began gave unfair advantage to the
Respondents.
To date, Contestants have located nine different official ballot lists and
supplements, none of which are have identical candidate information. The voter
confusion created was obvious to all concerned, including CRC officials. (It should be
noted that the candidate information for the 16-member Cruz slate Respondents
was not changed or omitted from the official lists after April 4.)

Page 6

Additionally, the sequencing of the candidates names on both supplements


violated CO Rule 7.4(d) sequencing rules intended for ballot name sequencing and
caused further confusion and voter error. Voter confusion was also created by the
exclusion of names from the ballot and by the purportedly mitigating ballot
supplements and supplemental projected slides with candidates listed in a
different order than voting delegates had been instructed to expect. Voters could not
reasonably consider all candidates in the constantly changing list of candidates.
Below of a few examples of ballot number assignment errors:

523 - Bradley Templeman - UnP
B. Ballot tabulation errors create uncertain, unverifiable results
A material number of votes were improperly tabulated. The result was a
likely impact on the outcome, particularly in determining the close races between
the lowest vote-ranked Respondent delegate and highest vote-ranked alternates.
For example, only 2 votes separated the 13th delegate from the 1st alternate. Only

Page 7

8 votes separated the 13th delegate from the 2nd alternate. Only 7 votes separate
the 4th alternate from the 5th alternate. These are but a few examples of the close
reported vote tallies as further detailed on the Election Summary (Exhibit 3
[provided by link in the paper copy of this complaint.]) http://cologop.org/wpcontent/uploads/2016/01/2016_ElectionSummaryReport-National-Delegate-by-Votetotals.pdf
Given the pervasive errors and tabulation questions, it is likely that results
are in error, but accurate results are unknowable. It is likely that some
Respondents have been improperly certified as delegates because of the material
errors in the election process. It is impossible accurate measure the quantitative
material impacts on candidates, alternates, and delegates vote counts.
The vote total summary discloses 136 votes were counted for invalid
ballot numbers higher than 636, which were not associated with a candidate. The
ballot contained 948 numbers and oval target areas, 312 of which were ineligible
but permitted recording of votes. These votes were improperly counted although
there was no candidate associated with the ballot number. One-third of the ballot
was invalid, but marks on the invalid area were counted, presumably creating
invalidated over-voted ballots. The delegates and alternates officially elected were
elected with vote tallies between 380 votes and 2,272 votes; therefore, the anomaly
of 136 votes became a material irregularity that likely impacted the close, thinmargin election outcomes. As an example, 41 votes were counted for nonexistent
candidate #948, but those votes were likely intended for eligible candidates. 22
votes were counted for nonexistent candidate #777. These material counts
suggest software or ballot scanning problems.
Tallies for unassigned ballot numbers suggest the lack of names on the
ballots, multiple, confusing ballot supplements, and 312 excess ballot numbers on
the ballot caused voter confusion and mismarked ballots. Given the material
percentage of over-voted ballots (82) and the 136 votes for nonexistent candidate
numbers, questions have been raised as to the accuracy of the ballot scanning and

Page 8

tabulation equipment as well. Requested access to ballots and electronic ballot


scans in order to investigate the source of the problem has been denied by the state
party and EPCO, which performed the Teller operation. CRCs Executive
Committee also voted not to investigate.
The vote tally data appears to indicate that 82 ballots and all votes thereon
(2,132 votes) were invalidated because of over-voting (voting for more than 26
candidates.) Additionally, 136 votes were counted for ballot numbers not assigned
to candidates. Delegates were not informed of the highly unusual situation that
marks in unassigned ovals were live and would count toward the maximum of 26
votes. If marks in any target areas associated with unassigned numbers caused
some ballots to be invalidated as over-voted, all valid votes on those 82 ballots
should be counted. A review of those ballots for voter intent is essential to
determine the impact of this particular potential error. Additionally, votes for any
candidate with two ballot numbers should not be penalized as over-votes.
Further, 2,132 votes exceed 3% of the votes cast. Rejecting 3% of the votes
cast on noncompliant ballots is improper and calls the election results into question.
Additionally, candidates who were assigned two or more numbers, such as
candidates noted above were not given the benefit of adding their multiple ballot
numbers.
CO Convention Standing Rule 8.4 required ballot tabulations to be recorded
and reported by county. CRC violated this rule by adopting the noncompliant ballot
layout and permitting the ballots to be commingled without regard to county. Thus,
no county tabulations are possible, rendering it more difficult to detect error, fraud,
or other source of the irregularities or make real-time objections to the reported
tallies.
Contestants agents request to inspect the ballots or electronic ballot images
has been denied.

C. Favored treatment given to Respondents in the official sixteen member


Cruz slate

The 16 official Cruz slate candidates won the top 16


delegate/alternate slots, although the thin, but erroneous, margins of victory
make it unclear what the accurate vote rankings would be among the 13 Cruz
slate delegates and 3 Cruz slate alternates. The 16 Cruz slate candidates
whose names and numbers were projected for an extended time on the screen
each were credited with over 1,000 more votes each than any candidate who
was not given the favored treatment explained here.
The CRCs favoritism shown the official Cruz slate began early in the
campaign process, as the CRC prohibited independent candidates, such as
the Contestant candidates, from having copies of the amended 16 (f) filling,
permitting only presidential campaigns could have access to the candidate
election rules. The favorable treatment continued as campaign literature
distribution in voting delegates bags was permitted only by campaigns with
multiple volunteers to perform other CRC volunteer tasks. Objections
concerning the favorable treatment from non-Cruz slate candidates were
ignored by CRC officials.
Five of the official Cruz slate members were added to the website lists
and transmitted to the balloting vendor after the March 27 deadline for filing
Letters of Intent to Run as delegates. These candidates names (Shari
Bjorkland (590), Kristi Brown (591), Scott Anderson (592), John Hotaling
(593), and Steve Humphrey (594)) were printed, out of alphabetical order at
the end of the official ballot lists, although other candidates who were
transmitted to the vendor late, with ballot numbers from 595 to 636 were not
given such favored treatment of being included in the official printed list. The
Committee is encouraged to inspect the transmittal of the Letters of Intent

Page 10

from the Respondents to ascertain the timeliness of their transmittals.


The Cruz slate candidates ballot numbers were accurately
posted on the State Party website and the printed ballot listings and
supplements, while many other candidates were not listed on the website
until just before the election or not at all. Exhibit 4 shows a slide of
additional candidates, some of them disclosed for the first time while
delegates were voting.
The 16 member Cruz slates ballot numbers were protected by CRC
and not changed or misprinted, --a benefit not afforded to many other
candidates. The official Cruz slate was permitted 20 minutes on stage with
correct ballot names and numbers projected by CRC on large screens as
Senator Cruz spoke. (Exhibit 5) In contrast, Contestant candidates were
permitted 10 seconds of on stage time as were all other pledged and
unpledged candidates. Some candidates spent their 10 seconds announcing
corrections to their misprinted ballot numbers on official lists and erroneous
campaign literature.
Perhaps the most telling signal of bias by the party is the now-famous
Tweet sent from the Colorado GOP Twitter account moments after the
Respondents election results were announced. The Tweet proclaimed, We
did it. #Never Trump. (See Exhibit 1, Blaze article) While the party has
claimed that the Tweet was unauthorized, the circumstances that would
permit such unauthorized communications, suggest a culture of CRC staff
bias toward the official Cruz slate.
While the Cruz slate campaign organization and vigorous
electioneering is respected and encouraged, the favored treatment CRC
afforded those 16 Respondents was unfair and violated CRC bylaws Article

Page 11

III C., requiring neutrality.


D. Votes were accepted for ineligible candidates
Upon information and belief, votes were permitted for some candidates
who did not meet the requirements of paying their convention badge fees,
or submitting timely Letters of Intent to Run. (Exhibit 6)
As an example, in Denver County alone, numerous candidates
apparently failed to pay their convention fees and were listed on the
ballot, and accumulated 1,190 votes. Votes for ineligible candidates
obviously harm other candidates such as Contestant candidates.
E. State Party officials knowingly certified flawed and improper results
Respondents have been certified by House and Brandi Meeks (CRC
Secretary) under the provisions of RNC Rule 20. The certification was not
made in good faith given the known material election irregularities, rules
bylaws and state law violations, improper favoritism and inaccurate results
as reported above.
Such material irregularities were raised by members of the CRC
Executive Committee during their May 20 meeting. House and Meeks
attended the May 20 meeting and participated in the discussion. A motion to
undertake an internal investigation before delegate certification to the RNC
was defeated.
House and Ms. Meeks are aware of the numerous material discrepancies, the
allegations of fraud, and the election bylaws and rules violations both from
their April 8-9 convention experiences and the Executive Committee
discussion. Their knowledge of such irregularities should have prevented the
delegation certification.

Page 12

F. Delegates were obstructed from effective objections


RNC-stated requirements at the January 2016 Chairmans
Session were clear that a Professional Registered Parliamentarian must be
engaged to avoid parliamentary and process errors that may invite contests.
The acting parliamentarian for the Colorado convention was not
professionally credentialed and was ineffective in carrying out his
responsibility to correct pre- and real-time convention process errors. (Porter
affidavit Exhibit 7)
Contestants, other candidates, and all voting delegates were
prejudiced by the failure of CRC officials to make the proposed state
convention meeting rules available prior to their adoption and during the
conduct of the meeting. (Porter affidavit Exhibit 7) Timely objections were
made to the rules adoption without reasonable access to a copy, but
objections could not be heard in the chaotic environment caused by CRCs
failure to run an orderly meeting under the CO Rules and RNC-stated
requirements as well as by CRCs failure to provide floor microphones.
The unavailable rules included requirements for balloting and
challenges to balloting that were therefore unknown to candidates and all
participants, prejudicing the Contestants ability to make timely objections to
material ballot processing errors.
Meeting protocol requires microphones be made available on the
convention floor for delegate access to raise objections, motions, and points of
order. The lack of available microphones in an arena with over 4,000
attendees made real-time objections impossible. Porter lodged a complaint
with House concerning the lack of floor microphones as the meeting was
beginning. (Porter affidavit Exhibit 7) The complaint was ignored.

Page 13

Vote tallies require 38 pages to print. The Teller Committee failed to


disclose anomalies to the convention delegates such as the 136 votes for
nonexistent candidates counted in the results. They did not disclose ballot
formatting and ballot supplement printing errors. The convention body had
no way to consider the errors and their impact on the reported results during
their vote to approve the Teller Committee report. The Teller Committee had
the duty to present an accurate report and disclose any such discrepancies
and anomalies prior to asking the convention to adopt the results.
The Teller Committee violated their duties by conducting this reckless
and error-riddled election and by reporting the results as if material
problems did not impact the results.
G. Numerous related and subsidiary violations combined to exacerbate the
unfair and unverifiable election

The individual experiences detailed in the attached affidavits of


Contestants Porter (Exhibit 7), Gamache (Exhibit 8,) Carr (Exhibit 9),
Alexander (Exhibit 10), and Fore (Exhibit 11) provide the practical harmful
impacts of the variety of rules violations incurred. Candidate Molly Sullivans
affidavit (Exhibit 12) provides one example of a candidate who was listed in
the published ballot lists but whose number did not appear on the ballot.
Delegate Cindy Lyons affidavit (Exhibit 13) further details the practical
inability of voters to meaningfully consider all the candidates in a fair
manner, given the disorderly and disorganized non-compliant nature of the
convention process.

CRC wilfully repeated improper processes. CRC officials and its


balloting vendor, the El Paso County Clerks office, (EPCO) managed the
balloting processes for Congressional Districts (CD) 2, 3, 4, and 5 on April 8
using essentially the same flawed, noncompliant processes as described

Page 14

above. CDs 1, 6, and 7 elections were independently conducted prior to April


8 and reported only material problems associated with the CRC-generated
national delegate candidate lists. Each CD elected 3 national convention
delegates and 3 alternates.
The April 8 CD elections were plagued with the same problems
identified above in the state convention. Ballots excluded the required
candidate name and information. April 8 CD ballots included 300 live voting
ovals in every CD, more than three times the number of candidates in any
CD election. All April 8 CD elections recorded a material number of
erroneous votes for unassigned numbers, clearly impacting the votes for
eligible candidates and possibly impacting the outcomes. In their role of
conducting Teller functions, EPCO concealed such errors from the delegates
as the Teller reports were presented. The winners were never presented to
or approved by the bodies of CDs 2, 3, 4, and 5. The incomplete and
materially inaccurate Teller reports in those districts were unilaterally
adopted by the Chair with known material errors after adjournment of the
meetings, and the convention bodies were denied their right to hear, object to,
amend, or reject the Teller reports.
Allegations of material voter fraud are pervasive in CD3 where some
eligible voters were denied ballots because their ballots had been reportedly
fraudulently voted by another countys delegation. This was confirmed by the
Chair of CD3, Linda Sorenson. (Exhibit 14) This result was approved by the
Teller Committee and EPCO.
The erroneous procedures, wrong ballot numbers, and voter confusion
of the April 8 elections attracted the attention of the national press. EPCO,
CD officers, House, and CRC received numerous complaints about the
noncompliant balloting processes amid the negative press reports on April 8.
CRC and EPCO made no known attempts to redesign and improve the
process and materials for the hereby contested state at-large election on April

Page 15

9. CRC and EPCO made no attempt to investigate the excess invalid votes
counted for unassigned numbers, to reprint the ballots, reprogram the
software, repair the ballot scanner, print a complete and accurate candidate
list, etc. in order to avoid repetition of the balloting errors the following day
for the at-large election. CRC and EPCO had a full business day after
material flaws were exposed early on April 8 and chose not to address the
similar known errors and predictable failures for the April 9 at-large election.
The decision to repeat and not correct the known April 8th
noncompliant and failed processes indicates that the CRC, House, and EPCO
knowingly permitted the April 9th at-large election to be flawed by the same
violations.
Additional facts. The allegations, details and exhibits in the Notice of
Contest filed June 18, 2016 are incorporated herein and provide some
additional detail on important, yet subsidiary issues. An electronic copy of
the filing can be located at https://www.scribd.com/doc/316124613/Challengeof-Colo-At-Large-Delegates-Amended-6-18-16.
Representatives affidavit (Exhibit 16)
II.

Discussion

This action seeks to set aside the flawed election to find a more equitable
result, and seeks to assure Colorado voters that reckless and materially noncompliant elections will not be tolerated by the party. The election was conducted
with pervasive disregard for the fundamental principles of election fairness and
legal compliance, resulting in an election that is incapable of authentication or
verification. Such elections must not be allowed to stand in seating delegates to the
National Convention, given the critical nature of the decisions to be made there.
Seating delegates chosen by illicit means and willful wrongdoing invites a public
disrespect of the Convention, and its legitimacy, and creates a chilling effect on
candidates and delegates in future delegate elections.

Page 16

In summary, the willful violation of multiple essential rules, laws, and


bylaws as presented above clearly impacted the outcome of the election to an
unknown, but likely material degree, and as as result, the certification should not
be permitted to stand.

III.

Request for additional information and adverse inference

CRC and its balloting vendor have repeatedly denied access to


documents needed for this contest, even when those documents are public
documents or required to be available to delegates.
Contestants respectfully request the Committee on Contests require the CRC
to immediately deliver to Contestants the information requested in Exhibit 15, to
ensure all information presented in future filings or hearings is accurate and
complete. Electronic scans of all voted ballots should also be delivered to
Contestants. They are available as standard records created by the Dominion voting
system.
On June 1, Molly Sullivan, potential contestant, requested copies of
necessary documentation from the state party. On June 3, Chairman House denied
her document request, stating that potential contestants would be required to file a
contest in order to obtain the information. It should be noted that House therein
misinformed Sullivan of the deadline for filing this contest. This followed a similar
unsuccessful request for documents by Nicholas Lundberg, potential contestant and
delegate to the state convention who was unable to vote for certain eligible
candidates whose ballot numbers were improperly excluded from the ballot. House
also denied Lundberg the needed documentation.
Contestants have requested copies of the convention Credentials Committee
report from the CRC, and have been denied as recently as June 21, although the
applicable rules of order permit any delegate to obtain this report. The Credentials

Page 17

Committee report is a key document in reconciling participation, eligible electors,


and ballot tabulations.
In an attempt both to resolve this controversy without a contest and to
properly prepare documentation for this Committee if a contest could not be
averted, agents assisting Contestants requested documents from CRC officials as
public records prepared under contract with the EPCO staff to conduct the
convention balloting services. The public records were improperly denied by EPCO.
CRC officials denied Contestants agents access to needed documents to fully
document this contest.
Under the Colorado Open Records Act, the electronic ballot images are public
records created by the El Paso County Clerks Office (EPCO) and subject to public
disclosure, but have been wrongfully denied by EPCO. Without proper disclosure,
Contestants are further prejudiced in this contest, as CRC controls the original
ballots. Without orders to the contrary from this committee, CRC may provide
favored access to records to the Respondents. Contestants request the Committee to
advise the CRC that all requested information related to this action must be shared
with all parties on a fully equal basis.
Adverse inference finding requested. Contestants respectfully request that
the refusal of the CRC to reasonably provide needed records for proper analysis and
submission to this Committee be found to be evidence of the validity of Contestants
allegations.
IV. Relief requested

Determining the voting delegates will as of April 9 as to who should


represent them at the National Convention is an impossible task given the material
nature of the errors. The broad discretion of this Committee will be required to
determine an equitable remedy under such circumstances.

Page 18

CRCs wilful failure to act in good faith and to apply reasonable care and
judgment in planning and conducting the election should subject the party to
sanctions and penalties to be determined by the Committee. Respondents who are
members 16 members of the Cruz official slate should be subject to sanctions for
seeking and accepting CRCs favored treatment, taking advantage of known
violations of the party rules.
Porter, Fore, Alexander, and Gamache should be declared as delegates to the
convention, taking the place of delegates ranked 9, 10, 11, and 12 in revised vote
totals, once the Committee can obtain information to refine vote totals.
We request that one additional delegate (with 13th vote ranking) be
decertified and replaced by one other candidate as a representative of the 610
candidates who were treated less favorably than the Respondents. Such a delegate
could be selected from another slate. We further request such additional relief that
the Committee on Contests deems appropriate to assure a more equitable
representation in Colorados delegation, and appropriate sanctions and penalties to
ensure that CRC is not motivated to repeat the manipulative election practices.
Respectfully submitted,

Marilyn Marks
Non-attorney representative for the Contestants

Just as in caucus states Iowa and Wyoming before them, Coloradans over
the weekend solidified their delegates who will advance to the Republican
National Convention in Cleveland this summer.
Ted Cruz swept all of the states delegates.

But accusations swirled on Saturday with photo proof by convention
attendees suggesting that Donald Trump delegates were left off of ballots,
Cruz delegates were placed on ballots twice, ballot numbers for some
delegate candidates were wrong, and the Republican Party admitted that at
least one delegates paperwork may have been lost, costing him an
opportunity to become a delegate.

To make matters worse in the sharply divided primary season, as the
convention drew to an end the official account of the Colorado GOP
published a tweet that read, We did it. #NeverTrump. It appeared to
suggest the Republican Party was glad that Trump had been shut out.
The tweet was sent out at 8:07 p.m. local time and then deleted within
minutes.
The tweet is problematic primarily because it included the divisive Never
Trump phrase created by a wing of the party who has stated they would
rather vote for Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, over Trump.

Screengrab. Courtesy of Author.

It is also problematic because state parties are required to support all GOP
candidates equally during a primary season and to serve as an unbiased
adjudicator at caucuses and state conventions.

To that end, the Republican National Committee recently released


ConventionFacts.GOP, a website dedicated to carefully explaining the rules
of convention season and specifically to underscore that the GOP does not
take sides in presidential nominating conventions.
Therefore, a state party publicly supporting one campaign over another?
Most certainly frowned upon.
The Colorado GOP asserted that the post was tweeted by a person with
unauthorized access to the state partys account. But reporters in the
press box late Saturday night, including myself, were not buying it.
Whether it has to do with errant tweets or the states lenghty, convoluted
process itself, it is likely that Colorados convention craziness could cause
chaos in Cleveland.
Heres how:
Trumps campaign is considering the possibility of preventing the Colorado

Page 23

delegation from being seated at the RNC convention. After all, Trump says
if the delegates were won by fraud or administered by a party that was in
the tank for Cruz, the votes should be discounted.
After Cruzs surprise blowout in Wisconsin last week and Cruzs clean
sweep of Colorado, the delegate math now shows that Cruz may be able to
keep Trump from achieving that magic number of 1,237 delegates after all.
With another loss handed to them, on Sunday it appeared that Trumps
campaign began doubling down on convention strategy a sign that Trump
may be giving up on his effort to win any more delegates and instead focus
on wining and dining delegates in the lead-up to the convention.
As if that werent enough, top officials from Colorado over the weekend
began to talk of an open convention.
U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner said that Cruzs success in Colorado continues
the momentum he gained in Wisconsin and leads to an open convention.
A party operative who agrees with that is Andrew Boucher, Gov. John
Kasichs newly-hired convention strategist who was spotted at the
Colorado convention on Saturday. I shadowed Boucher briefly as he made
the rounds briefing reporters on the possibility of an open convention and
even running through various scenarios with them including the fact that
80 percent of delegates become unbound and can suddenly vote for
whomever they want if the RNC nomination process makes it through a
second ballot.
Whatever the outcome at the RNC convention this summer, one thing is
certain: the road to Cleveland just went right through the bumpy roads and
the oh-so-Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

The chairwoman of the Boulder County GOP


has admitted that grave errors affected the
Colorado Republican caucus, in which Ted Cruz
won a clean sweep of 34 delegates without
opening up the process to voting by everyday
citizens.
Breitbart News has obtained an email that Boulder County GOP
chairwoman Peg Cage sent to other top Republican officials in
Colorado, including to other party chairs, describing the errors in
the process that led to the perception of fraud. Reached for
comment on the email, Cage said that the caucus might have to be
done over.
Since Breitbart Newss original report on massive voting problems
at the caucus including names of candidates being left off
ballots and at least one woman not being able to vote insiders
have come forward to tell this reporter about other alleged
inconsistencies, including a screw-up in the Pueblo and Mesa
counties that led to one county having twenty more ballots and
another twenty less. Trump supporters even protested the results
of the caucus on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol.
Rather than spend their time working on try to build integrity
and correct errors I know thats happening theyre working on
it right now today at 1:30 theres a bill being pushed by [state
chairman] Steve House to push from a caucus system to a primary
system as if that would change things, Boulder County
chairwoman Peg Cage told Breitbart News.

Page 26

The Trump supporters think that the Cruz supporters stole the
election. The Cruz supporters were very concerned that they
might not get seated in Cleveland so they have been publicizing
that the Trump campaign does not plan to contest the results,
Cage said. But those delegates could still be un-seated by the
Republican National Committee.
If its that bad, I guess if theres any question that our delegates
wont be seated, then that would be a case where it might make
sense to have a do-over, Cage said. I would say it would. It might
be the better way to go just to make sure that our delegates, they
ought to be able to go forth and get seated.
I think they were mostly, from what I saw, clerical errors. To me,
its inexcusable The ballots themselves had names missing.
People who had signed up.
It seemed to happen in all of the districts. So I guess the state has
something to do it because it was up to the state who received
those forms There were many people at the state convention
itself who they had to say, well this person was this number and it
doesnt appear that way in the book. It just wasnt clean It
wasnt clean because of those clerical mistakes, Cage added.
Cage indicated that she is not a Trump supporter, but rather a
Cruz supporter simply concerned with electoral integrity, saying,
As a county chairman I cant publicly declare. I do have a favorite
Well, I was standing up by the stage when [Cruz] was up there.
Cage sent an email expressing her concerns to fellow party chairs
last Tuesday.
Changing the process by which we get to counting votes wont
change the perception of fraud, Cage wrote. There were
problems with the election in Colorado Springs:
1 Many people who had filed their Intent to Run for National
Delegate forms were not put on a ballot.
2 Clerical errors created the perception of fraud (duplicate and

Page 27

omitted names and numbers)


3 Despite calls for unity by elected party officials, one candidate
was perceived to have been favored
4 Ballot counting was perceived to have been done in secret, by
the Secretary of State (in his orange Cruz shirt) on
equipment from the county where he was the County Clerk.
Cage was referring to Secretary of State Wayne Williams, who
showed up to the caucus in an orange Ted Cruz shirt and was
photographed with Cruz election lawyer David Sawyer in a
Facebook photo:

Cage detailed further problems:


SOLUTION: We, the elected party officials for our counties, are
responsible to call for a complete airing of the problems, including
naming each offended party and the candidate they pledged to
support and showing all ballots with their additions and
omissions. A flow chart, like Anils, for each county should be
included to show that procedures were followed correctly to get
delegates to the assembly. We must insist that professional
clerical staff be added and trained at the State level to avoid
mistakes that cause such contention
There were mistakes- people who had filed their Intent to Run
Page 28

forms were not put on the ballot. It happened in every CD and at


the state assembly. Im pretty sure it wasnt done to favor Cruz, as
his Colorado campaign chairman, Ken Buck, was left off the CD4
ballot. But it happened frequently enough that the perception was
that fraud had been committed. That was bad, but leaving
numbers off of a simple sequenced number ballot is inexcusable.
These were simply clerical errors (I hope see, theres room for
doubt), but they brought division among our ranks and could have
been prevented if the staff had been more professional and
double-checked their work.
Cage wrote to the state party chairman Steve House:
Steve, if you see this note, thats why its seen as bad for me to be
on your side. You ran on election integrity and promised that
youd create a team of people that could train us at the county
level to watch for fraud in our elections, but that hasnt happened
yet. Republican County Clerks should be included in such a team,
but there also need to be folks who are not Clerks. Clerks get reelected if they make voting easy, but as weve seen in this
discussion, ease of voting doesnt equate to integrity in
votingYou may not agree with my particular solution, and I am
certainly open to discussion that leads to the best solution, but we
must take the blame and make it stop here. Or lose.
Reached by phone, Colorado GOP spokesman Kyle Kohli said that
Trump convention manager Paul Manafort indicated to our
delegates directly that Trump would not contest Cruzs delegate
share.
There was never any concern about the delegation being unseated to begin with, Kohli said.

Trump Campaign Mulls Contesting Colorado Delegates;


Convention Plagued With Irregularities

Share Tweet Pin

Colorado was Cruz Country on April 9th as Senator Ted Cruz completed his
sweep of Colorado delegates. However, the Trump campaign took note of a
multitude of irregularities.
Alan Cobb, a senior advisor to the Trump campaign told Politichicks that they
are not ruling out contesting Colorado delegates. We are gathering all the facts
and documenting everything, Cobb said.

Page 30

While the day was a big win for Cruz, the convention itself was riddled with
problemsincluding disenfranchisement of candidates for national delegate.
Some candidates were missing from the ballot. Others were included on the
ballot twice. One U.S. Senate candidate was missing from the ballot.
Numerous irregularities surfaced before the convention from violating party
bylaws to withholding information on convention rules.
Here is a detailed breakdown of some of the issues:

Candidates for national delegate were disenfranchised at the State


Convention.
The convention program excluded several candidates for national delegate.
In addition to the convention program, the party published an error- filled
booklet listing candidates for national delegate. In this supplemental,
candidates were listed in alphabetical order and again based on to whom
they pledgedstill excluding candidates. The party attempted to rectify
errors by printing the missing candidate names and numbers on a
corrections list on a separate blue sheet of paper. However, the
addendum was distributed separate from the supplemental booklet,
leaving some delegates unsure of its purpose.

Page 31

Five candidates were given two different numbers because they were included
in the original list and on the corrections list.


Two delegates had numbers missing from the ballot itself. Instead, it
contained two numbers with duplications. (378 was listed in place of 379;
523 was listed in place of 513.)
Some candidates who stated they filed their letters of intent were never placed
on the ballot or on the corrections list.
Candidates for national delegate were also disenfranchised at the Congressional
Assemblies and Convention. Attendees across all seven congressional
assemblies and conventions reported that candidates who submitted their
correctly filled paperwork on time were missing from the ballots.

Ten names were missing from the ballot for Congressional District 5 (CD5)
including one member from the officially endorsed Cruz slate. A motion was
approved for all the candidates missing from the ballot to be given ballot
numbers which were then posted on an easel.
In contrast, Congressional District 3 (CD3) did not provide numbers for

Page 32

candidates missing from the ballotthough the issue was addressed at the
meeting. When approached after the conclusion of the meeting regarding how
many national delegate candidates from CD3 were missing from the ballot, the
CD3 chair admitted, I have no clue.
The CD lists of candidates are generated by the state party based on letters of
intent submitted by those eligible to run. Some candidates on a previous
version of the list found their names missing from the updated list.

Delegates were shut out from participating in the process at the State
Convention. Process irregularities included an absence of microphones on the
convention room floor, discouraging delegates from calling out points of order
and points of information as per Roberts Rules of Order. Attendees of the
Congressional Assemblies and Conventions report that microphones were
available at their respective meetings.
The State GOP violated party bylaws related to the State Central
Committee (SCC) meeting that covered agenda items related to the State
Convention. The day prior to the State Convention, the State Central
Committee (SCC) convened a meeting to discuss convention issueswith less
than a weeks notice to central committee members in violation of state party
bylaws. The state GOP sent out the notice as an amended call, however there
was no original call to amend. This was confirmed by several SCC members.
At the meeting, SCC members did not receive copies of the Standing Rules
for the State Convention. A delegate who was not a member of the SCC was

Page 33

reported to have seconded one of the motions in the meeting.


The decision on the Standing Rules Committee Chair presented a clear
conflict of interest. The state party chose a woman who was running for
Republican National Committeewoman to chair the Standing Rules Committee.
In the end, she lost her bid for the RNC position.
The parliamentarian was not a Professionally Registered Parliamentarian
(PRP), but an attorney with a longstanding relationship with the Republican
Party. According to an RNC source who wished to remain anonymous, the RNC
recommended at their Spring meeting in South Carolina that state parties hire
PRPs for their state conventions.
Terry Campo served as Parliamentarian at the Colorado State Convention.
Campos Linked In profile states that he served as Parliamentarian at half the
state GOP conventions electing delegates to the 2012 Republican National
Convention. He also served as Parliamentarian to the Standing Rules Committee
at the 2012 convention.
When confronted if he was credentialed as a PRP with either the National
Association of Parliamentarians or the American Institute of Parliamentarians,
Campo stated, I dont remember if I am or not. I used to be a long time ago.
He referred to the credentialing organizations as mere trade associations. You
can be a parliamentarian who is qualified without paying a hundred dollar dues
to an organization that primarily exists to get peoples dues, Campo said,
emphasizing his extensive experience. After continued questioning, Campo
stated that he would join one of the associations.
The Colorado GOP did not make the Standing Rules available to State
Convention delegates. As the convention came to order, Colorado GOP
Chairman Steve House stated that the Standing Rules for the convention were
posted on the Colorado GOP Web site. Delegates reported that they were not
posted on the Web site nor did they receive an email of the Standing Rules.
Delegates voted on and approved the Standing Rules without seeing them.
Although the program did not include the Standing Rules, it did include all the
resolutions in their entirety to be considered by delegates. The entire text of the
resolutions was also included on the resolutions ballot.
The state party charged delegates $65 and alternates $45 to attend.

Cruz Sweeps Colorado as Trump Campaign Issues


Error-Filled Ballots
by BENJY SARLIN

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado Sen. Ted Cruz finished Colorado's delegate fight the way he
started it: With overwhelming victory.
Donald Trump finished it the way he started as well: With a disorganized and frustrated campaign
plagued by mistakes.
Cruz took all 13 of the delegates up for grabs on Saturday to complete a clean sweep of the state.
Delegates endorsed by his campaign swept all seven congressional district conventions held over
the last week as well, which added another 21 delegates. Another three slots are reserved for state
party ocials.
"Today was another resounding victory for conservatives, Republicans, and Americans who care
about the future of our country," the Cruz campaign said in a statement Saturday night.
Trump's aides set expectations at rock bottom heading into Saturday's contest, citing the state's
unfavorable demographics and a complicated process that empowers local party activists to vote
on delegates.
Supporters in Colorado nonetheless said they were frustrated with the campaign's chaotic and
uncommunicative campaign, which failed to reach basic levels of competence.
"We could have had some things going, but the campaign decided to not put resources here,"
Becky Mizel, a former Pueblo County GOP chair and Trump delegate candidate, told NBC News.

On Saturday, Trump backers passed out flyers at the convention site with ocial campaign slate of
13 delegates and 13 alternates accompanied by their three-digit number position on the 600-plus
person ballot. Seven of the names, however, directed people to the wrong number and one
delegate's name was misspelled. Other candidates did not have errors on their slates.

In one case, an erroneous number corresponded with a Cruz supporter. A second flyer handed out
by the Trump campaign contained four mismatched names and numbers.
Among the names listed incorrectly on both flyers: Becky Mizel.
Related: Bernie Sanders Wins Wyoming Democratic Caucuses
It was the second major error concerning campaign materials this week. On Thursday, a Trump
slate of three names in the 7th Congressional District convention contained two that weren't listed
on the ballot. The campaign's state director, Patrick Davis, said they failed to pay the necessary
fees to qualify.
Trump's campaign wasn't the only one who made mistakes, though. Colorado Republican
chairman Steve House announced several corrections to the ballot from the stage, including
multiple names that were on the ballot twice, none of which aected any candidate's ocial slate.
One Trump alternate, Jerome Parks, was not on the numbers-only ballot at #379 instead the
ballot listed #378 twice.
"They're not in there!" Trump supporter Karen Kasel said to herself in frustration as she tried to
find #379 on her ballot in the hallway.

There were also discrepancies between delegate guides posted to the state party's website and
printed materials distributed by the state GOP. Mizel, for example, was listed on a delegate list on
the party website as number #610, but a brochure from the state GOP listing delegates
alphabetically cut o at #588.
Trump campaign aide Alan Cobb accused the Colorado GOP of altering its delegate lists at
dierent points, leaving them in the lurch as it changed, and threatened to dispute the results over
its ballot inconsistencies.
"We'll do whatever it takes to protect the legitimacy of our support in Colorado," Cobb told NBC
News. "Clearly there are some serious issues with the ballot and balloting.
A spokesman for the Colorado GOP said they were looking into the matter.

In another mix-up, the party's Twitter account appeared to be hacked in the aftermath of the
results, tweeting "We did it. #NeverTrump." A spokesman for the party said that their account had
been taken over and the tweet was not authorized.
Cruz's all-volunteer Colorado campaign distributed accurate slates not only on flyers, but also on
bright orange t-shirts. Groups like Gun Owners of America that endorsed Cruz distributed their
own materials backing the same slate.
Dustin Olson, a delegate whip for Cruz, manned a "persuasion team" in the halls of the arena. The
heavily pro-Cruz crowd needed little convincing, Olson said, but he worked hard to make sure no
one split the vote by supporting Cruz delegates who weren't on the campaign's ocial slate.
Cruz personally addressed the state convention on Saturday while Trump campaign and Ohio
Governor John Kasich supplied campaign surrogates on their behalf.
"It's easy to talk about making America great again, you can even print that on a baseball cap,"
Cruz said. "The real question is do you understand the principles and values that made America
great in the first place?"
Afterwards Cruz told NBC aliate KUSA that Trump's absence "illustrates that when it comes to
the grassroots, Donald has a very hard time competing."
Speaking on behalf of Trump, policy adviser Stephen Miller devoted nearly all his remarks to
recounting Americans who had been killed by undocumented immigrants.

"WE SMOKED THEM"


"The special interests in DC who have controlled our political process for 40 years, they don't care
about you, they don't care about your family, and they don't care about your security," Miller said.
Former New Hampshire Senator John Sununu represented Kasich, who he described as "tough,"
"conservative" and a "fighter" who was willing to take on his own party to balance the budget in
the 1990s.
The Colorado results come as the race increasingly hinges on a complex war over delegate
selection that requires foresight and grassroots organization to win.

Unlike Colorado, most of these fights are taking place in states where voters have already weighed
in on how many delegates are bound to each candidate, but where the state party has a separate
process for choosing the actual delegates.
The results are crucial because most
delegates are free to vote for any candidate
they choose in a contested convention that
goes beyond the first ballot.
Several states held delegate selection events
on Saturday, with Cruz's campaign continuing
his string of success in most cases but falling
prey to a surprise alliance between Trump and

Kasich in one state.

In Iowa, Cruz supporters nearly swept up each


of Iowa's 12 national delegate slots up for grabs. Each of Iowa's four congressional districts voted
to send three delegates to the convention in Cleveland, and all but one of those 12 delegates
committed to backing Cruz on a second ballot if the race comes down to a contested convention
at July's Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
"We smoked them," said Matt Schultz, Cruz's campaign chair in the state.
The Trump campaign despite the results pushed back on suggestions they amounted to a
loss for the candidate.
"It was definitely obvious Ted's camp thought they'd come in and clean up and sweep the whole
slate of delegates, so I consider it a Trump victory for the Trump campaign," said Tana Goertz,
who led Trump's eorts in the state after chairing his caucus eorts. "We were just happy the full
slate wasn't filled with all Cruz people."
Meanwhile in Virginia's 9th Congressional District which Trump won with 47% of the vote
Cruz supporters took two delegate slots to one for Trump.
In South Carolina where all delegates are bound to Trump on the first ballot Cruz secured
three delegate seats out of six up for grabs in two districts on Saturday while Trump won just one.
Two more were uncommitted.

Story highlights
Donald Trump's campaign is mad about the
delegate selection process in Colorado
The GOP front-runner says political insiders
are plotting against him

Colorado Springs, Colorado (CNN) Ted Cruz's resounding


win in Colorado's GOP contest this weekend provided fresh
evidence that Donald Trump's campaign is still scrambling to
catch up in the state-by-state delegate hunt.
But the Trump campaign's threat that they might challenge the
Colorado results at the Republican National Convention showed
something else: Their campaign is gearing up for battle in
Cleveland -- and no error will go unnoticed.
The debate over the national delegate selection in Colorado this
weekend qualied as the very denition of inside baseball.

But that is the game that the GOP campaigns will be playing at the convention if no candidate reaches the 1,237
delegates needed to clinch the nomination before Cleveland.
READ: The Colorado delegate process has to be see to be believed
By Sunday, the Trump campaign had voiced a litany of complaints about Colorado's complex process, even
though it was obvious on the ground that they had not done the aggressive leg work to court Colorado delegates
that the Cruz team had done.
"I win a state in votes and then get non-representative delegates because they are oTered all sorts of goodies by
Cruz campaign. Bad system!" Trump tweeted Sunday.

On NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, Trump's new convention manager Paul Manafort accused the Cruz campaign
of using "Gestapo tactics" to wrangle delegates.
Cruz campaign spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said the campaign had won "because we've put in the hard work
to build a superior organization," dismissing the complaints as sour grapes.
But it was the threat of a convention challenge over the ballot
problems in Colorado this weekend that is the kind of legal spat
that could lead to campaign-on-campaign legal warfare at the
convention.

In a race that could be decided by handful of delegates those


challenges could be a pivotal part of the nomination process
this cycle.
To the casual observer of politics, the details of what went awry
for the Trump campaign in Colorado Springs might seem like
an irrelevant debate over minutia. National delegate ballot
positions, to be exact.
Ballot positions were assigned to more than 600 people who
ran for the nal 13 delegate slots at the GOP convention on
Saturday.
To narrow the eld, each presidential campaign printed up
slates listing the national delegate candidates that they had
endorsed. Those slates were handed out by volunteers at the
convention.

But the slates put out by the Trump campaign contained


numerous errors when it matched names to ballot numbers. At
the Congressional District 7 convention Thursday night where
three convention delegates were selected, the slate printed by the Trump campaign contained the names of two
delegate candidates supporting Trump who weren't even running in that district.

all republican candidates

On the rst slate printed by Trump campaign for Saturday's election -- which detailed the names and ballot
numbers of 26 people who were running to be Trump delegates at the convention -- more than a half dozen
names were listed with inaccurate ballot numbers.

Inside the battle to become a Colorado GOP delegate 02:32


If you were a Trump supporter at the convention hoping to support his slate of delegates that mattered -- a lot -because the paper ballots that attendees used to cast their votes late Saturday afternoon contained only numbers,
not the names of each delegate candidate.
The Trump campaign printed a second slate that was meant to correct the corresponding numbers and names
that were wrong on the rst slate. But there were mistakes on the second as well.
The campaigns of Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich did not have the same problems -- suggesting that the
mistakes could have amounted to printing errors by the Trump campaign on their slates.

Political Prediction Market

Donald Trump
to be Republican nominee

But the ballot distributed by the state party did include at least
one clerical error: There was no bubble on the ballot for
delegate candidate #379 (who was running as a Trump
delegate, according to the state party list). Instead in the spot
where #379 should have appeared, there was a second bubble
for #378 (who was running as an unpledged delegate).
Another wrinkle: Inside the convention program printed by the
state party, the list of candidates running for the 13 national
delegate slots (and their corresponding ballot numbers) only
went up to #588, even though there were 619 candidates.
The state GOP printed a supplemental ballot and placed the

names and ballot positions of the remaining candidates on two


screens above the stage, but Trump supporters said that not
every attendee got one.
Beyond that, the Trump campaign said a number of their
potential national delegates had their ballot positions changed.
Others, Trump advisers said, led the proper paperwork but
never ended up on the ballot.
"We're not taking a credential challenge oT the table," said
Trump adviser Alan Cobb. "It's something we'll be looking into
over the next few months."
A spokesman for the Colorado GOP said party ofcials were
looking into whether there were problems with the ballot.

Affidavit of Kelsey McEwen Alexander

1. I, Kelsey McEwen Alexander, am a registered Republican voter in Douglas County,


Colorado, and have been since about August of 2001.
2. Kelsey McEwen Alexander, Kelsey M. Alexander, and Alexander are one and the same
person for the purposes of this Contest filing.
3. I am a precinct committee person, an Assistant District Captain, a former County
Chairman of the Douglas County (Colorado) Republican Party, former Board Member of
the Colorado Federation of Republican Women, former Chairman of the 18th Judicial
District for the Republican Party (the largest judicial district in Colorado) and as such, I
am a frequent voter and fully aware of the compliant balloting processes required for
party and public elections.
4. I sit on numerous advisory boards, and attend events and regular meetings, of politically
active people of similar mindset such as the Leadership Program of the Rockies,
Steamboat Institute, Independence Institute, Lincoln Club, First Friday Republican
Breakfast Club, Third Friday Republican Breakfast Club, American Association of
Individual Investors, Douglas County Republican Women, Arapahoe County Republican
Breakfast Club, Center Right Coalition, and more. As such, and including the information
in number 3, I am well-known by many people who were voting delegates at the
Colorado Republican State Convention, and I was and still am a serious contender for
an at-large National Delegate position.
5. In 2016, I was re-elected Precinct Committee Person and elected as a delegate to the
Douglas County Republican Assembly at my precinct caucus. At the Douglas County
Republican Assembly, I was elected as a delegate to the Colorado Republican State
Convention. Thus I attended the Colorado Republican State Convention as a voting
delegate.
6. At the Douglas County Republican Assembly, I sought out the appropriate Intent to Run
as National Delegate form, filled it out correctly, and returned it appropriately to the
Douglas County Republican County Chairman, who turned it in to the Colorado
Republican State Party in a timely manner. On this form, I declared my intention to run
for Republican National Convention delegate in both the 4th Congressional District
Convention and the Colorado Republican State Convention. The Intent to Run as
National Delegate form was the only document I submitted to run as a delegate.

Page 1
Page 94

7. My name was published in voting material that the 4th Congressional District Convention
received, thus making it clear that the Colorado Republican Party had received my
correct form to run for National Delegate and setting up my assurance that I would be on
the ballot at the Colorado Republican State Convention election on April 9, the day
following the 4th Congressional District Convention.
8. About two hours into the Colorado Republican State Convention, I had a friendly
conversation with former State Chairman Ryan Call and asked if he was running for
National Delegate. Call replied that he had planned to run as a candidate but that the
State Party had failed to give him a number.
9. The ballots for National Delegate at the Colorado Republican State Convention did not
have names on them, only numbers with ovals beside them. This methodology clearly
violated both reasonable judgment and the bylaws for conducting an election.
Separately, a booklet was provided to the State Delegates when they entered the
convention area. The booklet contained a list of the individuals running for National
Delegate and their assigned numbers. Near the end of the convention, I received a
second booklet, followed by an addendum sheet containing the National Delegate
candidates names, their ballot numbers, and their pledging status. I had to crossreference the multiple published lists of numbers and National Delegate candidates
names with my ballot to determine how to vote.
10. Following the conversation with former Chairman Call, I suspected that I might not have
been assigned a number.
11. Upon review of the booklet I was given when I arrived at the convention, I found my
name was not published anywhere as a candidate running for National Delegate. I set
out to find out how to remedy this situation by approaching various volunteers and
inquiring as to where the Teller Committee room was located or where the Credentials
room and or any room in which Republican Party officials who could help me with my
ballot number was located.
12. After some time, I finally encountered a volunteer who connected me with someone who
listened to my situation and told me to wait where I was (in the hallway) and she would
return with information. After about 20 minutes, a State Party staff person returned and
told me my assigned number was 632. I repeated that number and wrote it on my
program. The volunteer repeated the number as well to confirm it was in fact 632.
13. The remaining details of my situation are shown by my Protest email (Exhibit 1) that I
sent first to Colorado Republican Party Executive Director Shana Kohn, who never
acknowledged receipt, and then to Colorado Republican Party State Chairman Steve
House.
14. In emails (Exhibit 2) between House and me, I inquired as to the status of my Protest,
and House repeatedly responded that the attorney was reviewing my situation. House
Page 2
Page 95

never gave me a definite Yes or No to my Protest even after the deadline to file this
Contest and after he had certified the official Colorado National Delegate and Alternate
list to the Republican National Convention. House kept telling me it was at the attorneys
and House was waiting on the attorney.
15. Getting no resolution from Chairman House and feeling that I certainly had had every
expectation of being elected as an at-large delegate to the Republican National
Convention, I saw no other avenue of resolution than to join in this Contest.
16. As stated in my Protest email (Exhibit 1), my name was not published in the booklet
provided to state convention voting delegates when they arrived at the convention. My
name was not published in the official booklet that was handed out to the Douglas
County state convention voting delegates some 30 minutes before the ballots were
handed out. My name was not published in any addendum sheets that were passed out
to the Douglas County state convention voting delegates some 15 minutes before the
ballots were handed out. In fact, my name and number for a National Delegate ballot
position were not provided to any voting delegate at the state convention in print form at
all.
17. Late in the day, it was announced that the candidates for National Delegates should start
lining up to give their ten-second speeches. I was paying close attention and was near
the beginning of this line. At this time, I and the other Douglas County state convention
delegates had already received our ballots, and many were casting their voted ballots
before my name had even been published as a candidate. I observed other state
delegates putting their ballots in the ballot boxes before I proceeded to the line to give
my National Delegate speech.
18. While I was waiting in line for the start of the ten-second National Delegate speeches
and after people were putting their ballots into the ballot boxes, an overhead projection
image (Exhibit 3) was displayed that showed errors and omissions in the booklet of
National Delegate candidates. From my memory, this list contained misspellings and
incorrect first names or last names and corrections such as that. Then a document was
projected with additions with numbers higher than those on the addendum sheet that
had been handed out just prior to ballots. The 632 number I had campaigned with most
of the day was listed as someone elses number! My name was the very last one
displayed and with number 636.
19. My chances of obtaining votes for the correct number of 636 were very limited. The
chances of people not having already voted, or having already selected their 26 people
to vote for, were immense. The convention at this time was unruly, disorderly, and
chaotic with delegates moving about placing their ballots in the ballot boxes and leaving
the arena to go home. No one can know how many delegates were actually paying
attention and would even notice my now new number as different from the 632 I had
campaigned with, or even that I was on this list at all.

Page 3
Page 96

20. In the end, my vote count was impressive, considering all the factors involved. Adding
the votes cast for number 632 (no name in vote tally results, 210 votes), number 636 (no
name in vote tally results, 153 votes), and number 2 (Jimmy Clayton Alexander in vote
tally results, 18 votes) that is discussed in my Protest email (Exhibit 1), I did receive 381
votes. I feel confident if I had not been treated so wrongly by my number not being
published anywhere, including on the face of the ballot as required, I would certainly
have gotten the votes to be a National Delegate. In my Protest email to Chairman House
(Exhibit 1), I pointed out to him that I would not have thought about including Number 2's
votes for me, but during the State Convention while I was telling my story to Brandi Meek
(State Party Secretary) at Chairman House's request, a voting delegate named Betty
Benson from Leadville, Colorado, interrupted our conversation and very enthusiastically
told us she had voted for me and she so hoped I would get elected as a National
Delegate. I thanked her and asked her how she had voted for me. She explained she
hoped I was running, searched the entire booklet, and only found one last name
Alexander so she figured they just messed up the first name. She told Brandi and me
she voted for me as number 2. It could be surmised that others may have voted for other
people with the first name Alexander as there were at least four of those in the booklet of
candidates running for National Delegate. I am not including those here. Looking now at
the total votes above, this is more votes than some of the alternates who were certified
by the Colorado State Republican Party got, showing that even with all the
disadvantages raised in this Contest, I got enough votes to be at least an Alternate
delegate. Without the disadvantages, I would certainly have gotten enough votes to be a
delegateby looking any of the published material, no one could even see that I was
running. PLEASE NOTE these vote numbers are different than in Exhibit 1.
21. As a voting delegate I was also disadvantaged by being unable to vote for eligible
candidates whose names were not published along with other candidates. For example,
my friend Lemoine Dowds number was not published until the final image was projected
(Exhibit 3), which was too late for me vote for her.
22. Another friend, Marty Neilson, was assigned number 378, which appeared twice on the
ballot, once where 379 should have been printed. It was unclear how to vote for Neilson
with this ballot layout error and with no name beside her number. After speaking with
Neilson yesterday, I believe she thought she withdrew from running as an at-large
National Delegate altogether. It is therefore unclear why she was assigned a ballot
number at all.
23. By this reference, I hereby incorporate into this affidavit all other irregularities for election
of National Delegate at the Colorado Republican State Convention presented in this
Contest even though I might not have personally been aware of them. The irregularities
caused me to not be properly credited with votes that I would have gotten had the
irregularities not occurred.

Subject: Fwd: Protest of Colorado National Delegate/Alternate list and votes
Hi Steve,
Tyler Hart told me to send this protest to Shana at the email I sent it to on Monday. Tyler told this to me
when I came into the State GOP office Monday afternoon.
I have received nothing from Shana....not even an acknowledgement that is requested.
Would you please see that this protest is taken seriously and in a timely manner?
And I repeat from within the protest, would you please confirm this protest is received?
I would like a list of all those who ran for national delegate and the vote counts for each. I hope we believe in
transparency.
You and I discussed this Saturday at the assembly.
Thanks,
Kelsey Alexander

Subject: Protest of Colorado National Delegate/Alternate list and votes


Hi Shana,
I sent you an email earlier this evening advising you this protest email would be coming, but it looks like it bounced
back to me. This is the followup I am sending now that I have time to write it out.
I am the one that spoke to you near the beginning of the National Assembly candidates' speeches at our Assembly
Saturday. My friend Betty from Leadville, whom I think you know, had just come up to me and said she voted for
me and hoped I got to be a delegate. I asked her what number she voted for and she said, "Number 2" - - the only
last name Alexander printed in the program. I wanted you to hear her say that in preparation for what has turned
into this protest of the delegate vote counts.
The short story is that I was not put on the ballot, got number 632 several hours into the assembly, worked my tail
off to get elected anyway, only to find the number 636 was put up on the monitor at the end of the assembly with
my name. Those who might still not have voted by then and might want to vote for me resulted in a lot of votes! I
spoke with Chairman Steve House about this right away. He told me to look at the votes after they were tallied and

Page 6
Page 99

see if adding the votes for my numbers would be significant -- and if it was he would figure out how to make it
right. Today (Monday) Tyler Hart told me the vote counts for the numbers that might have been votes for me and I
think I should be seated as an alternate or as a delegate. I understand the list has not yet been published. I want to
be on it.
The long story -Today after calling State Party numerous times -- getting busy signals and full mailboxes, I drove to State Party HQ
and spoke with Tyler Hart at the front desk. I told her my story which is this -- I turned in my form to run for
delegate to the National Assembly through my county chair with my intention to run for National delegate at both
CD4 and State. I know you all got my form because I was correctly on the ballot for CD 4. But I was not on the
ballot at the State Assembly.
A couple of hours into the assembly I happened to see Ryan Call and asked him if he was running for National
delegate. He told me he had been left off the ballot. I was surprised. After thinking about Ryan's situation for some
time, I wondered if I had been left out too. Not having a ballot -- I found a list someone had printed -- and I was not
on that. It was in alphabetical order and the last name Alexander only showed up once -- with Jimmy Carlson (?) as
the first name. So....I went in search of how to resolve this and run anyway.
I finally connected with some State Party people and my first question was -- could they check to see if there were
two delegates with the last name Alexander -- if not, I should be number 2 and they just got the first name wrong.
The request was flatly denied -- we can't verify that for you. Then I asked if they could tell me if Jimmy Carlson (?)
was a delegate or alternate -- it seemed like that was an entire name for someone rather than a first name as the
printed list showed. No, they would not verify that either. So, I had to ask for a new number. After and standing
and waiting for quite some time a State Party person told me my number was 632. I wrote it down on my hand. I
admit I was pretty amazed because the last number in the list I had seen was in the 580's. How could it be that
there were fifty people not listed on the ballot and 580 on the ballot? That means that more than ten percent of
the candidates for national delegate were missing from the published list!!!! If this is true, I find it totally
unacceptable!!!!!
So, my first protest is to say this cannot be a fair election with fifty some people missing off the ballot. Through the
day I found at least twenty more people who told me their name was left off the ballot too!
But I went back into the arena and ran into several of my friends whom I told my situation. One of them wrote the
number 632 on my forehead in ink and I proceeded to use a good deal of my remaining time campaigning to get
votes by showing the number 632 and asking for votes.. A lot of people wrote down my number and said they
would vote for me. I worked hard for several hours -- I really want to be a delegate or an alternate to the national
assembly!
After the ballots were distributed to the County Chairmen, an official booklet of people running for national
delegate and their assigned numbers came through our county chair and our district captains. I looked at that
booklet -- I was not in it either -- the highest number was in the 580's like the previous list I had seen. Very soon
after that a blue addendum sheet came out through the same channels. I was hoping I would be printed on that,
but no! It only went to 619. That means that my name and my assigned number were still not printed anywhere to

Page 7
Page 100

facilitate my supporters being able to vote for me. If I had not directly interfaced with a voting member of the
assembly there was no way they could know I was running nor what number to mark in their ballot to vote for me.
And people were marking their ballots as soon as they got them.
Candidates for offices had just finished speaking. People started lining up to speak for national delegate -- I was
paying attention - I was about 15th in line to speak. Chairman Steve House made the announcement that there
were some corrections and additions -- he put up that list on the monitor. I was dismayed to find my number 632
was indicated to belong to Rebecca Wang (not sure I have the last name right)! And I was the last one listed with
636! I had done all that campaigning for a number different than what was displayed on the monitor!
When Steve House came down from the stage I went over and explained this situation to him. He told me to find
out the numbers after the vote and see if I got enough votes when adding those of the various numbers were close
to being what was needed to be a delegate or alternate. I did that today and they exceed the number of the lowest
seated alternate. Tyler Hart told me the lowest seated alternate was a Cruz supporter with 396 votes..
I want to be placed as an alternate or as a delegate to the National Assembly!
Even though I was not published as a candidate I can take credit for the following votes -Number 2 (only place last name Alexander was printed) 18 votes
Alexander Pinto (don't know number, but my name) 238 votes
Alexander DeValle (don't know number, but my name) 99 votes
Alexander Crane (don't know number, but my name) 13 votes
Alexander Williamson (don't know number, but my name) 4 votes
Number 632 (I campaigned for votes on this number -- even had it written on my face! ) 210 votes
Number 636 - only shown on monitor and after many had turned in their ballots but had my correct name - 153
votes.
Total votes 735
I got these numbers from Tyler Hart this afternoon -- I was denied a request for a printed copy of all the candidates
and votes. I was denied a request to actually look at this list -- I do not know why there is no transparency in our
vote counts. Very disturbing!
Tyler told me the last alternate had gotten 396 votes. I clearly had more -- even if you take out the votes for first
name Alexander I am short only 15 votes. Considering I was not printed anywhere when many people marked their
ballots this is certainly clear a lot of people want me to be a delegate! or at least an alternate! I did not have time
to connect with many people beyond the Douglas County section, the people on the aisles, and people I just
happen to see that I knew. I did not have anywhere near the entire day to campaign because I was (it seems) the
very last person to get a number.
Tyler told me the list of alternates was not yet published. I asked her to delay publishing it until my protest was
considered and played out. I told her I would be submitting it this evening. I am asking to be seated. I believe the
intention of the voters at the assembly clearly shows I should be a delegate or maybe an alternate. I do not know
where the number of votes between alternate and delegate is. But I exceed the number of votes the lowest
alternate got.

I have been a County Chair, a Judicial Chair, President of a large Republican Women's Club for several terms, and
on the CFRW state board. I am on the LPR ,and Steamboat Institute Advisory boards. I belong to and attend
regularly CRBC, Lincoln Club, Arapahoe Republican Men's Club, and attend Center Right Coalition. I know a lot of
Republicans who were voting delegates at this assembly! I have worked hard for Ted Cruz - made phone calls into
NH, WI, MS, NV, FL, and other states. I know a lot of Republicans around the state who could not have voted for
me because I was not published on the ballot list!!!! I am positive I would have gotten more than fifteen more
votes had you all not made the mistake and not put my name on the list with a number that people could find and
thus vote for me!!!! Look how many votes I got in the short time I campaigned for them! Especially that last
number which was only up on the monitor part of the time at the end when many had already voted!!!!
I am sincerely asking you to seat me as a delegate or as an alternate depending on where my vote count falls.
I am further requesting a complete printout of all the people running for national delegate at the state assembly
and the number of votes received by each person.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible on this. I am sending it to you, Shana, because Tyler Hart
told me you were the one to send it to. Please acknowledge you got this as soon as you read it so I will know that.
And please let me know what the process will be for considering my protest. I am available by phone with my
numbers below, or I can come down to State Party HQ if you would like. I worked very hard to campaign for this
position. I have worked hard through the years and hoped I had enough respect from a lot of people around the
state to get elected. And then you left me off the ballot. I did everything I could to recover only to find my number
was wrong. A double - bad whammy! Please attempt to make this right and see that I am seated correctly.
I also request you bring this to the attention of Chairman Steve House as I spoke with him about it at the assembly
as mentioned above. He should have an opportunity to correct this unfortunate error.
I look forward to hearing from you at your soonest convenience.
Sincerely,
Kelsey M. Alexander

Subject: Re: Protest status
To: Kelsey Alexander
Kelsey,
I was waiting on our attorney to look at officially. My original view of it was that we cannot add all the
votes by people named Alexander. There are legitimately people named Alexander who were in those
name slots and legitimate delegate candidates who earned votes and I don't see how confusion could
have occurred in those cases. To get on the delegation as an alternate you had to have more than 396
votes overall to get into the last alternate slot. To be a delegate you had to get over 1500 votes and
there is nothing that shows me that if we added anything up we get to that level.
The guest pass is an offer and it is not conditional on anything. You have earned that and I am not trying
to pacify you on this issue. Chris is out of trial finally and he should weigh in also.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

What I really want is a positive resolution to my protest which it seems you have still not answered.
A guest pass? Well, I can't say no, but I need to look in to what it would cost to get there, where I would
stay, etc. Would I be able to get into housing with our delegation at all? What does a "guest" get to
attend? I appreciate the offer and would like more information on it.
And I am not sure you are actually offering me a guest pass -- you did say it conditionally. A bit strange.
But I really want you to address my protest which was submitted in a timely and serious manner. I have
followed up with you several times including in person at Center Right last month.
If you will add up the votes for the one published person with my last name Alexander, the number 632
that I was given during the assembly and that was later put up on the monitor after many had turned in
their ballots and credited to someone named Rebecca Wang (sp?) and number 636 that was also put up
on the monitor after many had voted but had my name by it -- I think those add tmo a total of votes that
exceeds what Tyler Hart told me when I went in on Monday afternoon after our Saturday State
Assembly/Convention. The information Tyler gave me now seems to have been incorrect. That sum puts
me well INTO the pack of alternates. It does not put me 15 votes out of being an alternate as Tyler told
me -- and as my Protest stated. I definitely believe I should be seated as a delegate because the number

Page 10
Page 103

of votes I most certainly would have gotten had you published my name on the ballot or even in the
booklet, or even on the add-on sheet would have bumped me into the delegate vote count.
I still await you answer on the Protest and info on the guest pass info.
Thanks,
Kelsey

Kelsey,
I have no doubt that what we are going to find is that we cannot add all the potential votes you
suggested which means we wouldn't get to a point of having you on the delegation. Personally I think
you are an important activist so would you go to Cleveland if I gave you a guest pass?
Thanks

Hi Steve,
It has now been two more days and I still do not have an answer from you. Your response was to ask
your attorney for an answer.
I am asking you as State Chair for an answer.
Please get back to me with substantive information. I am certainly trying to resolve this with you in good
faith.

Text messages with Linda Sorenson, CD3 Chair


With Marilyn Marks

Exhibit 14
Friday, May 20, 2016 at 11:53:18 AM Eastern Daylight Time

Hi Marilyn; I am the 3rd CD


chairman. Which county do
you represent? Why are you
asking about the ballot issue?

Hi, Linda. I don't represent


any county. Some delegates
who are concerned about the
vote count have asked me to
help them understand what
happened. Do you mind
talking with me?

I am a close friend of Bekcy


Mizels

Becky, I mean.

I don't know if I should at this


point, we are still investigating.
I am waiting for a package
from George Rivera, then I will
know some more on the
subject. I am not sure how to
proceed with
the information gathered so
far. I don't want to burden
Page 114Page 1 of 8

Steve House. And I certainly


don't want the media to get
wind of this.

The media is already


becoming aware. And of
course it has to be the
decision that you are
comfortable with, but vote
counting and teller committee
activities should never, ever
be secret.

Who is the attorney for CD3?

That is who you should be


talking to for sure.

Pueblo County certainly need


to know the details and decide
within their committee how
they want to proceed. This
has nothing to do with the
Teller Committee.

You know, I don't know who


our attorney is. There are
several in the 3rd CD.

It all stems from the ethics of


the Pueblo County Executive
committee.

Page 115Page 2 of 8

How could something impact


one county and not the ballot
counting?

Ballots are not marked by who


votes them. The Teller
Committee counted correctly.
Pueblo County was not honest
in distributing the ballots.

I have heard that ballots were


counted in excess of those
authorized.

from Pueblo

I know. Ballots MUST be


anonymous, by bylaw!!

Did Mesa get shorted ballots?

Yes, Mesa County were


shorted 20 ballots. Pueblo got
those extra ballots, rather than
give them back, they voted the
extra.

That is what I heard, but I was


having trouble believing it.

Page 116Page 3 of 8

did some people not get to


vote?

Thiis is the problem with the


county chair handling their
delegations ballots.

Please, do not say anything


until we have completed our
investigation. Yes, some did
not get to vote. This has only
to do with the Nat'l Delegate
ballots, none other.

There really is not any way to


contain the information. There
are enough people talking
about it already.

Who is in charge of the


investigation?

yes, I understand it is only the


National Delegate race, not
other ballots.

Why was Wayne Williams in


the room?

He is not in CD3.

Page 117Page 4 of 8

No the Pueblo County Chair


did not handle the ballots his
VC did. He is the SOS,
monitoring the count and
integrity of the people present.
He was very helpful.

that is NOT his role in the


party convention.

it is crucial to separate his


official role from the party role--he was just a voter and on
the Cruz slate.

He only suggested options,


not run the committee.

Does not matter, Cruz vs


Trump was not and is not a
factor in this issue.

well, it will not appear that way


when unauthorized member
who is cruz guy comes in to
mediate ballot counting
problems.

I don't like Trump, not one bit,


and am supporting Cruz, but I
am concerned about the
process that hurts everyone.

Page 118Page 5 of 8

Integrity of Pueblo County


Executive Committee is an
issue. The process was open
and honest. It was the
Executives of Pueblo County.
They should have returned
those ballots when they
realized
they had way too many.

Who is conducting
investigation?

Yes, the actions of the Pueblo


County Executive committee
does hurt everyone. Now the
trust has been taken away
from them & things will be
handled differently in the
future. The Executive
Committee
with the 3rd CD, myself, the
VC and Secretary. Like I said,
I am waiting for a response
from George Rivera and at
that point I will take action.

We must be patient, gather


the facts and them proceed. I
will keep you updated. I don't
have anything to hide.

I am only trying to do a good


job and be fair.

APR 14TH, 3:11PM

I understand and I feel for the


position that you are in. The
problems will likely be very
high profile because the
process errors are likely to get
mixed up with the illegitimate
claims Trump
is making about the caucus
process.

APR 14TH, 4:39PM

Did you see that George R's


FB account appears to have
been hacked? My guess, and
I'm paranoid, that it is Trump
shock troops attacking
because of CD3. ???

Not many know of 3rd CD.

That I'm aware of. If you know


of someone directly involved
have them contact me please.
970-210-6102 my celll phone.

Okay thanks. Will do. I think ,


as you say, that people are
afraid to talk.

Page 120Page 7 of 8

APR 16TH, 7:39AM

Did the CD3 body hear and


accept the teller committee
report, or did it adjourn before
teller report prepared?

APR 16TH, 3:22PM

Linda, someone told me that


they had to go back some
time later to learn whether
they won. It sounds like the
meeting just ended without the
body accepting the Teller
Committee report and having
time to object and raise
issues. Is that correct? If so,
how will you remedy that?
Without an adoption of the
report, I don't see how these
delegates are officially
elected.

APR 16TH, 8:06PM

Did you sign the certification


of the delegates yet, or are
you waiting for the adoption of
the Teller's report?
