That would be fantastic for Colorado. Utah was the last state to have one IIRC, until the deep state needed to install Romney. That count my vote passage was evil & with all the other cheats we see, it is pretty clear it was cheated into being forced on Utah citizens.
Good for you Colorado. This clears up the BS in the GOP & allows for the most constitutional loving individuals to be delegates who will choose the proper candidates.
This wouldn't only fix the Trump ballot issue, it would force most, or not all, deep state players out of Colorado state politics.
Today, state party caucuses are open to anyone who is a member of the party and registered to vote. These members meet to decide on who they will recommend for nomination, ultimately at their party’s convention. They also discuss the party platform and organize election volunteers.
Caucuses are very different from primaries because they require that voters go to a meeting to participate in the nominating process. And this means caucuses can get pretty lively at local precincts. In Iowa, voters literally try to persuade each other in small groups.
TL;DR A caucus system allows for a handful of individuals (delegates) to represent hundreds in a precinct. Their 2nd job is to research & choose the best candidate to be on the election ballot, to allow the others in the precinct to get on with their daily lives (work, raising kids, taking classes, fixing homes, etc...) Often only those who truly care about the issues will attend & it forces deep states to spend huge dollars, they don't have, to overcome constitutionalists winning. This is a true Republican form of Governemnt
In a caucus system, at least how Utah ran it up until about 10 years ago, every Republican voter would have the opportunity to go to a precinct meeting every two years. They would all discuss the topics they were concerned about & elect delegates to spend the next two years researching the topics & researching candidates.
This essentially becomes a 2nd job (in terms of time) for many delegates in this system during election times.
Candidates are given all the delegates information & then call & discuss what are the concerns of the precinct. These delegates get the opportunity to do research, similar to Anons, and often welcome additional research on candidates so they can chose the best ones to be on the ballots for a general vote.
This eliminates being able to win via marketing, most delegates are constitutional istana to their core & see being a delegate as their civic duty.
Often in a precinct of 500-1000 individuals, you will have 5-20 care enough to show up. This allows those who really care about keeping the constitution held as the top law of the land, and returning to those principles, as the ones who almost always get selected to determine the best candidates for the office.
It would be great to have every individual at precinct meetings, using Robert's Rules of Order properly, though I have only been in a single precinct meeting in my entire life that had more than about 30 individuals attending (mostly 6-18). This was because so many younger Republicans were fed up with Orrin Hatch having been in office for so long (regardless of why they didn't want him there, there was a strong current to replace him). The GOP spent lots of money that year to get everyone out to their precinct meetings & there were almost 150-200 people in every single precinct meeting. The fire chief came in & told about a quarter of the precinct they needed to hold their meetings outside due to fire code. Robert's Rules of Order were essentially thrown out the window for almost every single precinct that year because so many new individuals flooded these meetings (note, they should have always been attending & it was great to have strong debates, though still those rules of order should have been followed). Many individuals who showed up for the first time in their lives, and never again after that precinct meeting, came specifically to make sure Orrin was kept on the general ballot.
Utah changed it's policies after that meeting, (IMO to keep easily controlled candidates picked).
Also, from my understanding, this is a true Republic style of election. Democratically elected delegates & precinct leadership. The candidates are put up for a general democratic (ie majority wins) vote in the end. This is why is it so often called a Democratic Republic. Though the electors (Electoral College ) should be chosen when all precinct get together during conventions to choose a president & those electors shoudl listen to the delegates & consider their opinions, just as delegates should consider the opinions of those who attend the precinct meetings. Ultimately this is why the Electoral College can choose a candidate that isn't even on the ballot. If all candidates were corrupt to the core & found out, then those electors should discuss & choose a president that isn't corrupt. This has not happened in our history, though it could as I understand the way it works.
They can wiggle
They can squirm
Trump is still getting a 2nd term
They're fucking around.
They will find out.
That's a bumper sticker!
They should go to a caucus system whether the ruling stands or not.

What’s the caucus system? How would it work?
Decent overview of the difference between primary vs. caucuses

Hopefully that wasn't too much, too fast.
