SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily News/Letter to the Editor "GOP local precinct caucus set"

"Editor:

The 2012 Pitkin County Republican Precinct Caucuses will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 7 at Aspen High School. Doors open at 6 p.m. for check-in and refreshments.  The caucuses will begin at 7 p.m. Check-in will close at that time.

For those who are not familiar with the process in Colorado, the precinct caucuses feature a presidential preference poll and the election of precinct committee persons from each of Pitkin County’s 10 precincts. Although the preference poll is non-binding, the statewide results of the preference poll will attract national attention.

The caucuses are also the first step in selecting delegates to the Republican National Convention. At the caucuses, delegates will be elected to the Pitkin County Republican Assembly, which will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 29 in the conference room at the Pitkin County Library. The county assembly will elect delegates and alternates to the State Republican Assembly, which will take place on April 14 in Denver. At the state assembly, delegates and alternates to the national convention will be elected.

We urge all eligible registered Republicans in Pitkin County to attend the Feb. 7 precinct caucuses. To be eligible, a voter must be registered in the voter’s Pitkin County precinct by Jan. 9 and must have been registered as a Republican in any jurisdiction as of Dec. 7, 2011. To avoid lines at caucus check-in, we encourage pre-registration by going to www.caucus.cologop.org.
