The Colorado Supreme Court tried to concoct a “wrongful act” by claiming that Secretary Griswold would violate section 1-4-1203(2)(a)—a provision of state election law—by certifying President Trump to the ballot. But section 1-4-1203(2)(a) limits only the political parties that may participate in Colorado’s presidential primary election, and requires only that participating political parties have at least one “qualified candidate”: [E]ach political party that has a qualified candidate entitled to participate in the presidential primary election pursuant to this section is entitled to participate in the Colorado presidential primary election. Colo. Rev. Stat. § 1-4-1203(2)(a). The Colorado Supreme Court somehow managed to transform this statutory language into a requirement that every candidate that appears on a presidential primary ballot be “qualified,”— and it falsely claimed that Secretary Griswold would violate section 1-4-1203(2)(a) if she failed to remove disqualified presidential candidates from the Republican primary ballot.
