'Will be gone soon': Lauren Boebert trolled as she secures top spot on primary ballot in new Colorado

WASHINGTON, DC: At the district assembly on Friday, April 5, Rep Lauren Boebert secured the highest percentage of delegates' support, which guaranteed her the top slot on the ballot in her Colorado GOP primary, according to The Hill.

Notably, of the 527 delegates present at the assembly, Boebert, who is seeking the entire two-year term in the eastern Colorado district of former Republican Rep Ken Buck, earned 41% of the vote, according to the Colorado Sun. This makes it possible for her name to appear first on the June GOP ballot. 

Lauren Boebert secures top spot on primary ballot in Colorado

Notably, candidates have many options to make the primary ballot due to the peculiar procedure that creates it. According to the Colorado news outlet, candidates have three options: they can either gather 1,500 signatures from their district alone, go through the assembly process and receive at least 30% of the vote from delegates, or combine the two by collecting 1,500 signatures and receiving at least 10% of the delegate vote.

Interestingly, Boebert is handling both the assembly and signature processes in tandem. In March, the office of the Colorado Secretary of State announced that she had obtained enough signatures to be included on the ballot. Boebert merely needed to score 10 percent on Friday, April 5, to be eligible under the hybrid method.

As per the Colorado Sun, former state senator Ted Harvey earned 26% of the vote among delegates, state representative Richard Holtorf received 15%, and former state senator Jerry Sonnenberg received 18%.

Notably, Harvey failed to receive the required 30 percent of the vote to be on the ballot since he had decided to qualify only through the assembly procedure. To be eligible under the hybrid system, Sonnenberg and Holtorf needed to receive at least 10% of the delegates' votes. Some contenders have only used the signature approach.

Moreover, To prevent a recurrence of the costly House battle from the previous cycle, Boebert, who presently serves the 3rd Congressional District in western Colorado, has decided to run in Buck's district, the 4th Congressional District in eastern Colorado. Boebert has also stated that, following the conclusion of her divorce from her ex-husband, she is seeking a new beginning.
