Donald Trump's campaign says they are "of course" thinking about challenging the seating of the Colorado delegation at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland after several ballot irregularities and delegate number mix-ups at state meetings this weekend.
A senior Trump aide said in a text message the campaign is "documenting everything" on the ground in Colorado and considering trying to block the Colorado delegation from participating at the national convention, where the ultimate Republican nominee will be picked.
One alternate delegate's number from the Trump campaign's preferred slate was not on the scantron ballot -- instead another delegate’s number was listed twice.
The Trump campaign also blames the Colorado Republican Party for several ballot numbers that did not match the correct names on the Trump preferred delegate slate.
ABC's Katherine Faulders provides this photo where #379 --a Trump alternate-- is not listed on CO ballot. #378 listed twice.
ABC's Ryan Struyk provides information that five people were on the ballot twice.
None of the names were on any candidate's official slates, but two were bound to Cruz, one to Trump and two unpledged.
However, Struyk and Faulder write,
...Correcting the errors would be unlikely to tip the scales in Trump's favor, as Cruz holds the lion's share of support among local party leaders in the room.Read more here.
