Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “little bitch” Lauren Boebert’s path to the GOP nomination for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District seat–a deep red district previously held by Ken Buck, who retired and promptly exited stage left–got a little bit easier after her top primary challenger failed to get 30% of the votes at a GOP district delegate meeting held in Pueblo, the Colorado Sun reports.
Former GOP state senator Ted Harvey received only 25.4% of the 530 votes at the district’s nominating assembly on Friday, meaning he’s off the ballot in the upcoming primary. Because of some very weird rules in the Party nominating process, two other candidates who finished Harvey, however, will appear on June 25th primary ballot. Because the other two candidates collected 1,500 signatures from Republicans in the district AND they got more than 10% of the delegates, former state senator Jerry Sonnenberg and state legislator Richard Holtorf will be slotted behind Boebert on the ballot. Harvey opted not to collect the signatures, so he needed to get support of 30% of the delegates at the nominating assembly.
