After the Colorado Supreme Court ruling disqualified President Trump from the ballot, the Colorado GOP swiftly revealed a backup plan.
In response to the Colorado ruling, RSBN reported that President Trump’s presidential campaign would be filing an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court to override the decision.
If, for some reason, the U.S. Supreme Court did not overrule the decision, Dave Williams, chair of the Colorado Republican Party, has revealed to CNN what the GOP backup plan is.
NBC News reported that Williams said, “We’re at the mercy of the U.S. Supreme Court. We’re not sure what their timing is going to be. We’re figuring it out as we go.” However, instead of sitting back and waiting for the verdict, the GOP is getting prepared.
Should the appeal not go as hoped, Williams has revealed that the GOP will withdraw from the primary and switch to a strict caucus process.
According to Newsmax, this move to a caucus is to “protect the rights of voters in Colorado and, frankly, across the nation, if they choose Donald Trump.”
However, switching to a caucus process is not an easy change. NBC News reported that the process starts with a waiver from the Republican National Committee that will allow the state party to award state delegates based on the results of the caucus system rather than a primary election.
The silver lining is that in September, NBC News shared that the Republican National Committee had included a contingency that the GOP could request a waiver should President Trump be removed from the ballot.
Newsmax reports that Williams has warned those looking to stop President Trump from being reelected by saying, “We’re a party to the case, and we’re not going to take this lying down.”
