Boebert Will Be Listed First on the CO-04 Primary Ballot

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) decided to switch districts because she almost lost her CO-03 district in 2022 and the same Democrat is running there again. She is going to run in CO-04, in the eastern part of the state. Under Colorado law, getting on the primary ballot is kind of wonky. There are several ways to do it. One is to get 1,500 valid signatures from district residents. Another is to get 30% of the vote from the convention. You can also mix and match.

At the convention, Boebert got 41% of the vote, more than any other candidate and way more than enough to qualify. Nine Republicans tried to get on the ballot. Boebert will definitely make it and will be listed first. Deborah Flora of Douglas County will also be on the ballot. It won't be known until the signatures are verified how many other Republicans made it. In any event, Boebert will be on the ballot and at least one non-Boebert will be there, allowing Republicans who don't like Boebert to vote for someone else. (V)
