Lamborn In Trouble?

There was a post yesterday regarding this matter but today’s Gazette provided a number of other interesting facts.

In a recent letter to supporters, Lamborn said he has long been a backer of the assembly process, but he has decided to gather signatures instead.

………….

El Paso County Republican Party Executive Director Nathan Fisk disputed that problems exist with the party’s ability to provide the information Lamborn cited.

Fisk said initial lists of delegates’ and alternates’ names and contact information were issued 10 days after the Feb. 5 caucuses and final lists 15 days after.

Caucuses were earlier than normal, Fisk said, so 5th Congressional District candidates had more time this year before the assemblies.

This is an interesting point. The Caucuses were earlier while the 5th Congressional Assembly remained where it is every cycle, (the middle to end of May). Thus, even if there was a delay more than the 15 days reported by the Party, the candidates STILL likely received their lists and such ahead of when they received them last cycle. So is the Congressman’s reasoning for not going through the Assembly? I am puzzled.
