D Request Arapahoe County GOP Bylaws
Arapahoe County Republican Central Committee bylaws are confirmed to exist. The Shusterman petition (2025) cited Art VIII Sec 8.01 of the Arapahoe County bylaws.

Request from County Secretary (Baugh) or County Chair (Temple).

Art III Sec C explicitly extends to "the various Republican county and district central committees." This is the next level of internal party remediation.
Authority: COGOP Bylaws, Art III, Sec C; CRC jurisdiction provisions.
G Challenge Assembly Designation
If credentialing records or the assembly recording reveal procedural failures — such as unqualified individuals voting, delegates excluded from the floor, or deviation from the assembly call — a challenge to the designation may be filed. This requires documentary evidence of the specific procedural failure. Pending: credentialing list and assembly recording.
Authority: CRS 1-4-602 (designation requirements); CRS 1-13-301 (fraud at assembly).
H Petition Route (CRS 1-4-801)
Independent path to the June 30 primary ballot. Requires the lesser of 1,000 petition signatures or 10% of votes cast at the last primary for that office in that party. This route does not depend on the assembly process and may be pursued regardless of the assembly outcome.
Authority: CRS 1-4-801.
These actions are available under existing party rules and state law. The decision to pursue any action rests with the candidate and their team.
