UPDATE #2: This is going well:

INBOX: FEC United, the conspiracist group w/ its own militia, is circulating a petition for a resolution calling on its former president, @ColoGOP Chair @ColoradoKbb, to conduct the Republican assembly via hand-counted paper ballots. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/jmAhx9u9NK

UPDATE: Over in CO-07, it looks like Republicans will have a three-way Primary on their hands. Erik Aadland (63%) and Laurel Imer (34%) both made the ballot through the assembly process. One other Republican candidate, demon enthusiast Tim Reichert, made the ballot via the petition route.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any weirder…

Incumbent Republican Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley) damn near failed to make the Primary ballot at today’s GOP congressional assembly for CO-04, finishing with about 38% of the vote. As Sandra Fish of The Colorado Sun reports via Twitter:

So just went back to listen to recording and Lewis received 183 votes/62% while Buck received 114/38% in CD4. #copolitics

Republicans are also holding assemblies for CO-02, CO-03, and CO-07 today. Given the craziness that has already ensued in other Republican assemblies, we could be in for a wild day on Saturday as the GOP selects nominees for Governor and U.S. Senate.
