Colorado Republican Party Chair Ken Buck, a U.S. representative from Windsor, pressured a local party official to submit incorrect election results to set the primary ballot for a state Senate seat, according to an audio recording of a conference call obtained by The Denver Post.
Youve got a sitting congressman, a sitting state party chair, who is trying to bully a volunteer Im a volunteer; I dont get paid for this into committing a crime, Eli Bremer, the GOP chairman for state Senate District 10, told The Post on Wednesday, confirming the authenticity of the recording. To say its damning is an understatement.
Buck says he was merely asking Bremer to abide by a committee decision.
