Team Trump has a disorganization problem in Colorado.
Because there are more than 600 candidates running for the 13 delegate slots up for grabs today in Colorado, presidential campaigns are passing around lists of genuine supporters in order to consolidate votes around their preferred delegates.
But the list of recommendations that Donald Trump's campaign put out has several major errors that could cost him delegates, even if supporters follow the campaign’s instructions.
The ballot numbers listed are wrong for five of the 13 delegates Trump recommends voting for, a major problem because the ballot only shows numbers, not names.
Of the five delegate candidates who correspond with the incorrect numbers of the Trump slate, two are unpledged and one will be bound to Trump rival Ted Cruz.
In addition, his alternate slate also has two candidates numbered incorrectly.
Most states dole out their delegates based on the popular vote in a primary or caucus. But in Colorado, delegates are elected by local or statewide party leaders at party meetings.
Cruz has already won all 21 of the delegates allocated so far here in Colorado, navigating the complex, multilevel allocation process to fill the slots with diehard Cruz backers. Rival campaigns have been shut out so far in the state.
