[SHOCKING REVELATION] Colorado County Chair…May Need to Do Over Delegate Selection

Boulder County chairwoman Peg Cage is up in arms about the convention where Ted Cruz received all of the delegates from Colorado.  She calls into question the methods used in fomenting a Cruz victory.  This includes Trump delegates being locked out of the convention and others not appearing on the ballot.  She believes the state needs to consider redoing the election of delegates.  This is not sitting well with the county chairs who rigged the election.  The truth is that even if Colorado doesn’t redo the election, their delegates could be denied seating at the national convention by the RNC.

Cage pointed this out in an email to other officials in Colorado.  Cruzbots will have a hard time trying to discredit Cage and her attempt to bring honesty to Colorado’s delegate selection because she is a Cruz supporter who doesn’t like Trump but is concerned by inexcusable ‘errors” that led Cruz to victory in the state.

In an interview with Breitbart, Cage said:

“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.  But those delegates could still be un-seated by the Republican National Committee.”

“If it’s that bad, I guess if there’s any question that our delegates won’t be seated, then that would be a case where it might make sense to have a do-over.  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, it’s 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 doesn’t appear that way in the book. It just wasn’t clean … It wasn’t clean because of those clerical mistakes.”

Cage’s email revealed things about the election that weren’t publicized in the mainstream press:

“Changing the process by which we get to counting votes won’t 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 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.”

Secretary of State Wayne Williams, who counted the votes in secret wears Ted Cruz shirt.

Cage also offered suggestions to restore the voter’s confidence that elections in Colorado are fair:

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 Anil’s, 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 forms were not put on the ballot. It happened in every CD and at the state assembly. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t done to favor Cruz, as his Colorado campaign chairman,

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO)  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, there’s 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 also wrote to state party chairman Steve House:
Steve, if you see this note, that’s why it’s seen as bad for me to be on your side. You ran on election integrity and promised that you’d create a team of people that could train us at the county level to watch for fraud in our elections, but that hasn’t 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 re-elected if they make voting easy, but as we’ve seen in this discussion, ease of voting doesn’t equate to integrity in voting…You 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.
