The 2020 Colorado Republican presidential primary took place in the US state of Colorado on March 3, 2020.
Background
[edit]Various state Republican parties had cancelled their state primaries or caucuses, including Nevada, South Carolina and Kansas.[2] This was going to be the case in Colorado, but advertising executive Robert Ardini filed on the first day permitted, triggering a law that states that the primary cannot be cancelled if more than one person has filed.[3] Ardini was followed by perennial candidate Rocky de la Fuente, former governor Bill Weld, incumbent Donald Trump, Matthew John Matern, Joe Walsh, and Zoltan Istvan.[4] De La Fuente, who was on the list when the ballot order was being decided,[5] was not on the final ballot list, having withdrawn his name because of the state's "sore loser" law.
Procedure
[edit]The primary was held by mail. Overseas and military voters were sent ballots on January 18, 2020, and in-state voters were sent them on February 10. The primary lasted until Super Tuesday (March 3) when all envelopes were opened and votes counted.[6]
The state uses a "winner-take-most" system. If a candidate wins 50% or more of the vote, it's "winner-take-all". Otherwise, delegates are proportionally allocated to candidates who received 20% or more of the vote.
