As part of its chairman’s desire to close its primaries to all but registered Republican voters, the Colorado Republican Party filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of State Jena Griswold in federal court Monday, seeking to invalidate a ballot measure passed by voters in 2016.by the attorney who represented Donald Trump after his 2020 election loss
The suit asks a federal judge to declare Prop 108 unconstitutional and to prevent Griswold’s office from enforcing it. In a statement, Griswold said that a federal court “dismissed the prior lawsuit and we continue to believe the new lawsuit has no merit. As Secretary of State, I will always stand up for voters to ensure that their constitutional right to cast a ballot is protected.”
But other Republicans, like former state party chair Dick Wadhams, argue the attempt to close the primaries is nothing more than a “purge” by Williams and his supporters. In an interview Monday, shortly before the suit was filed, Wadhams said the party — fresh off a bruising November election that saw its power reduced to a historic low — should be appealing to more unaffiliated voters and expanding its outreach.
