When the results of the GOP Colorado caucus were announced, Ted Cruz came out on top, collecting all 34 of Colorado’s delegates. This time, the interesting part of this election wasn’t the poll numbers, it was the lack of votes. In August of last year, Colorado changed its traditional election system to a caucus system that favors party insiders and activists. Donald Trump’s outrage over the results was well publicized earlier this week, as he took to Twitter saying, “How is it possible that the people of the great State of Colorado never got to vote in the Republican Primary? Great anger – totally unfair!” Many news outlets focused on Trump’s anger and attacked him for not being aware of the rule change and for not adapting his campaign to the different system. But few news sources addressed the concern that the delegate selection system wasn’t fair.

Colorado Republicans changed their system this year because they wanted to ensure that the candidate picked by the delegates made it to the Republican National convention this summer. However, this switch was controversial because it eliminated roughly 90% of the one million voters in Colorado from the selection process. Additionally, the caucus was a sort of a free-for-all. Some delegates were elected at the state level, and others at the county level. The few selected at the county level were literally given a few seconds to make a speech, and others resorted to dressing VERY patriotically.

For once, Donald Trump may have a point. Colorado’s delegate selection process excludes a large majority of voters in the state, and Cruz’s “voterless victory” does not seem to be fairly won.
