Rep. Ken Buck forms special panel to review GOP ballot issues
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) - The chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, has formed a special commission to review the party’s assembly nomination and ballot designation processes.
The Daily Sentinel reports that the 4th District congressman is deeply involved with some of those issues himself.
Controversies in the party’s nomination process first include a recording of Buck ordering a local El Paso County GOP chair to place a candidate on the June primary ballot who didn't qualify.
A second GOP controversy came out of Weld County, where an aide to Buck and others were accused of mishandling the process for naming delegates to the state party convention.
