Trump next argues that the Colorado Supreme Court misread Section 1-4-1203(2)(a) of the Election Code as limiting presidential primary ballot access to only “qualified” candidates. Pet. at 29–30. That provision expressly limits participation in the primary to parties that have “a qualified candidate.” COLO. REV. STAT. § 1-3-1203(2)(a). Trump’s argument that this requires that a party field only one qualified candidate before it can place countless unqualified candidates on the ballot is absurd. The Colorado Election Code does not require the Secretary of State to place 16-year-olds and foreign-born citizens on a party’s primary ballot when the party fields at least one qualified candidate. Nothing in the Colorado Election Code or common-sense mandates such a reading. See Hassan, 495 F. App’x at 948 (“[A] state’s legitimate interest in protecting the integrity and practical functioning of the political process permits it to exclude from the ballot candidates who are constitutionally prohibited from assuming office.”); Carson v. Reiner, 2016 CO 38
