It looks like you have provided the candidate acceptance forms, but we also need a
form/letter that nominates her. (You may want to review the PDF you sent, as pages 2
and 4 seem to be blank and perhaps these were the nomination forms/letters.)

Chairman House confirmed with me today that he has selected Gavin Halligan as
the Republican candidate for HD4.
Attached are Candidate Acceptance forms for Ms. Halligan. She wasnt sure
which form was correct, so she filled out both and had them notarized, as she had
to leave town. Please let us know if you require Chairman House to complete any
additional forms in order to complete this process. Please copy all, so well know
where we are in the process.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: BALLOT ACCESS COMPLAINT
Good Afternoon,
I filed a Candidate Affidavit to run for HD4 on July 22nd, 2016. I believe I am
being denied a fair process according to CRS 1-4-1002 (2.3) (9a-b). According
to resources, I believe I am the only candidate for the Republican Party that
actually filed a Candidate Affidavit due to Ben Higgins withdrawing from the
election. I should have an equal chance and should be eligible to run this
upcoming election. Unfortunately I have been told that decision has already
been made. According to the S.O.S. website, I followed all the procedures to
run and I shouldn't be disqualified. I dont believe I even had a chance,
considering the fact that the HD4 Committee announced at the Dragon Boat
Festival that they had already selected Gavin Halligan to run for HD4. It's
deeply upsetting that I wasn't given a fair chance, and that it seems that the
Candidate for HD4 was predetermined and rubber stamped. I do not believe
election procedures were followed to the capacity they were created for. Also, it
would seem to me that there is a conflict of interest for the Vice Chairman of
the HD4 Vacancy Committee to be rubber stamped as the Candidate on the
ballot for the upcoming election when another Candidate (myself) completed
and followed S.O.S. procedures. I see no neutrality in decision that was made.
Due to the time sensitivity of this matter I would greatly appreciate a response
by August 5, 2016. I would like to thank you in advance for looking into these
matters, and please dont hesitate to ask if you need any additional information.
Sincerely,
Ethan Todd Frasier

Chris,
My concern is that the Vacancy Committee did not meet because it was already predetermined
that the Vice Chair of the Committee was to be appointed. It seems that the best way to move
forward to appointing a member of the committee would be to not hold a hearing, but to have
the State Chairman make the appointment as Statue states is the next step. That is why I feel
there is a conflict of interest, especially with announcing this decision before the deadline of
the 5 day notice to committee members to hold a hearing. Statues can be misleading, but there
is a reason why this statue was created, and why hearings "should" be held. If no one that
attends the hearing or nominates themselves, no votes can be made,and that is when State
Party Chairman shall intervene and make appointment "Only if the vacancy committee fails to
certify the selection within 7 days" In this case the only reason the the selection failed is in
fact because there was no attempt to hold a hearing. If this process was followed, there would
be no conflict of interest and it would in fact be appropriate for Steve House to make the
appointment. Also, there was a hearing held for Ben Higgins, isn't this how he made the ballot
with the same timeline to hold hearing? Did he file a Candidate Affidavit before he was voted
(approved) by vacancy committee, did he nominate himself from floor of hearing, or was this
predetermined before the vote and was he instructed to nominate himself. The HD4 Vacancy
Committee was aware of my filing of Candidate Affidavit before Ben Higgins formally
submitted his request for withdrawal. Which gives reason to hold hearing, because it shows
someone is interested in being given a FAIR chance for the vote. Please let me know your
thoughts.
Sincerely,
Ethan Todd Frasier

Statutorily speaking, the Republican Party has not committed any type of violation.
1-4-1002 of the Colorado Revised Statutes can be a bit misleading. You are correct that it
does govern vacancies. It also mentions, several times, vacancy committees. However, it only
states that a vacancy may be filled by a vacancy committee. It does not actually require it. There is
nothing in Title 1 of the Colorado Revised Statutes that actually requires a political party to hold a
committee meeting to fill a vacancy. This is left to the respective parties themselves and, as I am
sure you are aware, the Colorado Department of State has no oversight when it comes to political

Mr. Frasier,
Per Colorado statute 1-4-1002(9), the state chair cannot nominate a vacancy candidate until seven
days have passed after the vacancy occurred and the vacancy committee has not nominated a
replacement candidate. Thus, the earliest that the state chair could nominate a candidate and
submit paperwork is August 6.

Wait. When did Higgins withdraw? I thought it was two Friday's ago, July 22, not this
past Friday, July 29, which would make the deadline for vacancy July 29, not this Friday.
1-4-1002 9(b)
(b) The vacancy committee,by a majority vote of its members present and voting at a
meeting called for that purpose, shall select a person who meets all of the
requirements of candidacy as of the date of the primary election and who is affiliated
with the same political party or minor political party, if any, shown in the statewide
voter registration system as the candidate whose declination, death, disqualification,
resignation, or withdrawal caused the vacancy. No meeting shall be held until a quorum
is present consisting of not less than one-half of the voting membership of the vacancy
committee. No member of the vacancy committee may vote by proxy. The committee
shall certify the selection to the secretary of state within seven days from the date the
vacancy occurs. If the vacancy committee fails to certify a selection within seven days,
the state chair of the same political party or minor political party as the candidate
whose declination, death, disqualification, resignation, or withdrawal caused the
vacancy, within seven days, shall fill the vacancy by appointing a person having the
qualifications set forth in this subsection (9). The name of the person selected or
appointed by the state chair must be certified to the secretary of state. The vacancy is
filled until the next general election after the vacancy occurs, when the vacancy is filled
by election.

Wait. When did Higgins withdraw? I thought it was two Friday's ago, July 22, not this past Friday, July
29, which would make the deadline for vacancy July 29, not this Friday.

Jerry,
I would like to sincerely thank you for your prompt response. Also, I would like to make it
clear for the record that it is not my intention for you to apologize about Colorado Revised
Statues. I do believe; however, that any party or state official should follow these statues. With
that being said, I cannot express enough gratitude for your recommendation on how to follow
up with this situation, which I do plan on doing. I give you my word that I will pursue your
advice, as well as following up with Secretary of State election officials to ensure any
decisions are in fact abided by state laws and party procedures. I do have a few questions in
response to the email I received.
What day was the committee polled, and are there minutes available to the public?
Was this decision made prior to midnight of August 1st? I ask this because of posts that I have
read online that stated Gavin Halligan was already appointed to HD4 dated prior to midnight
of Monday the 1st.
Did this decision have to do with the fact that I have not attended any local caucuses?
Finally, was anybody in this committee aware of my filing of affidavit for candidacy before
this decision was made? From my understanding filing a candidate affadavit was the first step.
I followed the directions that the SOS website provided, shouldn't this have been sufficient?
The parellel between Mr. Higgens and I shows a lot of similarities. Really the only difference
is that I wasn't on a tv show, and I have been a registered Republican my entire adult life.
I also have a few Colorado Revised Statues that I would like to bring to your attention.
CRS 1-4-1002
(2.3) (a) A vacancy in a party nomination, other than a vacancy for a party nomination for lieutenant
governor for a general election occurring after January 1, 2001, that occurs after the day of the primary
election and more than eighteen days before the general election may be filled by the respective party
assembly vacancy committee of the district, county, or state, as appropriate, depending upon the office for
which the vacancy in nomination has occurred in accordance with the provisions of subsection (9) of this
section. A vacancy in a party nomination for lieutenant governor for a general election occurring after
January 1, 2001, shall be filled by a replacement candidate for lieutenant governor nominated by the party's
candidate for governor. A vacancy may be caused by the declination, death, disqualification, resignation, or
withdrawal of the person nominated at the primary election or by the declination, death, disqualification,
resignation, or withdrawal of an elective officer after a primary election at which a nomination could have
been made for the office had the vacancy then existed. No person is eligible for appointment to fill a
vacancy in the party nomination unless the person meets all of the requirements of candidacy as of the date
of the primary election. When a vacancy is filled pursuant to this paragraph (a), the designated election
official shall provide notice by publication of the replacement nomination in the same manner as the notice
required by section 1-5-205.
9) (a) No vacancy committee called to fill a vacancy pursuant to the provisions of subsection (2.3) of this
section may select a person to fill a vacancy at a meeting held for that purpose unless a written notice
announcing the time and location of the vacancy committee meeting was mailed to each of the committee
members at least five days prior to such meeting by the chairperson of the central committee which selected
the members. Mailing of the notice is effective when the notice is properly addressed and deposited in the
United States mail, with first-class postage prepaid.
(b) The vacancy committee, by a majority vote of its members present and voting at a meeting called for
that purpose, shall select a person who meets all of the requirements of candidacy as of the date of the
primary election and who is affiliated with the same political party or minor political party, if any, shown in
the statewide voter registration system as the candidate whose declination, death, disqualification,
resignation, or withdrawal caused the vacancy. No meeting shall be held until a quorum is present
consisting of not less than one-half of the voting membership of the vacancy committee. No member of the
vacancy committeemay vote by proxy. The committee shall certify the selection to the secretary of state
within seven days from the date the vacancy occurs. If thevacancy committee fails to certify a selection
within seven days, the state chair of the same political party or minor political party as the candidate whose
declination, death, disqualification, resignation, or withdrawal caused the vacancy, within seven days, shall
fill the vacancy by appointing a person having the qualifications set forth in this subsection (9). The name of
the person selected or appointed by the state chair must be certified to the secretary of state. The vacancy is
filled until the next general election after the vacancy occurs, when the vacancy is filled by election.

Hello Ethan,
Due to a timely lack of contact on your part to myself (Chair of the Vacancy Committee) or any
other member of the Denver Republican Party to express your desire to run, the Vacancy
Committee decided to not convene. State Statutes dictate that an official Call must be made to the
members at least five days before the convening of that Committee, and the vote needs to be
registered with the SOS office within two days after. That Call would have had to have been sent
out to the members before midnight this past Monday. The Committee was polled, and in absence
of an objection, it was decided per State Statute that the responsibility of nominating a candidate
would go to the State Chair. If you are still interested in running, I would suggest that you take
your case up with the State Chair.
I cant apologize for the State Statutes, it is what it is, and Ive been assured that the legislature is
going to work to try and extend the time deadlines on this process.
I appreciate your interest in getting involved. We need more people to do so. I would suggest that
you might want to attend one of the House District 4 meetings, or perhaps the Caucuses. Ive
looked over the last Caucus sign-in, and it appears that you did not attend.
If youre interested, our next House District 4 meeting will take place on Monday, August 15th at
Paxia Restaurant. We convene at 6:30 p.m. and generally run for about an hour. If youre looking
for a future in the political arena, it would be a great way for you to get to know the people in your
district.
Looking forward to meeting you.

My name is Ethan Frasier, and I filed a candidate affidavit on July 22, 2016 with hopes to
run for the Colorado State House of Representatives in District 4. It is my understanding
there will be a Vacancy Committee Meeting where the committee will consider all eligible
candidates to elect one candidate to the vacancy. Could you please inform me when and
where this meeting will be taking place? I understand that the deadline is this Friday, August
5th. Due to the short timeline, it would be greatly appreciated if you could respond to this

I look forward to hearing from you soon, and getting to know all of you in the near future.

Maybe they're still sorting it out. Do you know (or does Judd), is a vacancy committee
required to meet or can they opt not to and let state party appoint a candidate? I'm assuming
the latter since that seems to be the fallback ...

Mrs. Sebern called regarding a different CPF question and while I answered that question, I took the
opportunity to show her how to search for candidate affidavits. I believe she is taken care of. Let me
know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Members of the Denver House District 4 Vacancy Committee,

Based on zero comments or objections to the proposal below, Ben Higgins will resign his nomination
for Colorado State House GOP Representative HD4, and well move forward to place Gavin Halligan
as our new candidate. Id like to thank Ben for stepping up to serve, and look forward to supporting
Gavin in the 2016 General Election.
We wont need to convene a Vacancy Committee meeting: thank you all for your service.
Once the waiting period of seven days passes, after Bens paperwork is filed, State GOP Chairman
Steve House will appoint Gavin as our new candidate for this election.
Please join me in supporting Gavin Halligan to defeat Dan Pabon this November.

Members of Denver House District 4 Vacancy Committee,
First Id like to thank all of you for taking the time to attend the HD4 Vacancy Committee meeting a
couple of weeks ago. Well done friends!
At that meeting, Gavin Halligan agreed to step aside, in order to allow Ben Higgins to run unopposed
at the Committee. As a result, he was elected unanimously as our candidate for State House.
Ben received notification from the television network that airs his show, that due to contractual
obligations, hes not permitted to run for political office at this time.
Gavin Halligan has graciously agreed to step up as his replacement for the nomination. Ben has
agreed to support her in the campaign, in whatever capacity he is able.
WITHOUT OBJECTION FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE HD4 VACANCY COMMITTEE, WE WILL DIRECT
THE STATE CHAIR OF THE PARTY TO APPOINT GAVIN HALLIGAN AS THE NEW REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE, REPRESENTING COLORADO STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 4, IN THE 2016 GENERAL
ELECTION . IF ANY MEMBER OF THE VACANCY COMMITTEE HAS AN OBJECTION, PLEASE RESPOND
BY MIDNIGHT ON THURSDAY, JULY 28TH 2016 TO MYSELF (CHAIR OF THE VACANCY COMMITTEE).
IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, WE WILL NOT NEED TO CONVENE ANOTHER MEETING, AND THE
APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK AND PROCESS CAN GO FORWARD.

(You do not need to reply if you have no objection. Were just crossing the ts and dotting the Is.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to call me at the number below.)
Thank you for your service.

A person becomes a candidate when they publicly announce and then either receive a contribution or
make an expenditure.
Colorado Law
There were several parts of the Colorado campaign finance law that could have been
violated if FreeForm had broadcast a show about Mr. Higgins campaign while he was
running for office. One example would be the provisions of Colorado law regulating
electioneering communications. Those provisions would be triggered by any
communication broadcasted by television or radio, printed in a newspaper or on a
billboard, directly mailed or delivered by hand to personal residences or otherwise
distributed that:
(I) Unambiguously refers to any candidate; and
(II) Is broadcasted, printed, mailed, delivered, or distributed within thirty
days before a primary election or sixty days before a general election;
and
(III) Is broadcasted to, printed in a newspaper distributed to, mailed to,
delivered by hand to, or otherwise distributed to an audience that
includes members of the electorate for such public office.
Colorado Constitution, Article XXVIII, 2(7). Various other provisions raised concerns as
well.
Lynn Bartels: They are misreading the current law. While Colorado campaign finance law
addresses electioneering communication, there is also a media exemption that is not
addressed in their e-mail.
In other words, they quoted what an electioneering communication is, but they left out
the exemption, which is media. This was the subject of a Citizens United case here two
years ago. (http://www.denverpost.com/2014/09/16/ted-olson-argues-citizens-unitedcase-in-denver-court/)

This below is about The Bachelor dropping out of the race against Pabon.
Note what the reality show says about Colorado election law. Also, The Bachelor has had a
campaign manager and communications person for awhile now. long before he filed to run.
Aren't you supposed to file first, or does that just pertain to collecting donations?

These assertions are categorically and patently untrue. Freeform simply shared with Mr.

Colorado state office could raise significant compliance issues under Colorado election laws.

Is the Higgins paperwork that you sent me yesterday going to be posted on the website at some

Confirmation of Candidate Affidavit Filing
On 7/20/2016, you submitted a candidate affidavit to announce your intent to be a candidate for Colorado
House House District 04 for the election year of 2016. Your affidavit has been processed by Colorado
Secretary of State. Please note that for statewide candidates, excluding RTD candidates, a personal financial
disclosure is due to the Secretary of State within 10 days of the candidate affidavit, if one has not already been
filed.
You will be receiving a separate email message with the information you need to access the Online Campaign
Finance system. With this information you will be able to file candidate disclosure reports. The user ID and
password are confidential and are intended for use by the candidate only and should be guarded to prevent
unauthorized use.
Please review your reporting schedule online for future report due dates.
Prior to accepting campaign contributions, candidates must form a candidate committee. Once a candidate
committee is formed, all contributions received and expenditures made are reported on committee reports and
not through candidate reports. When a candidate forms a committee, the committee will be assigned a
committee ID number and issued a different user ID and password.
For your reference, the filing calendars, electronic filing instructions, pertinent laws and rules and other related
information may be found on the campaign finance page of the Secretary of States website at
http://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/CampaignFinance/home html.
Please contact CAMPAIGN FINANCE SUPPORT at CPFHELP@SOS.STATE.CO.US or (303) 894-2200

Follow up: HD4 Vacancy Committee meeting this evening
Friday, July 15, 2016 8:54:34 PM
; Joel
; "Kenfield, Kara T."
Friends,
Id like to thank all of you for taking the time to attend the HD4 Vacancy Committee meeting tonight.
Due to State Statutes, we were under a time deadline both short and unreasonable. You all
DELIVERED! We needed quorum (50 percent plus one). We hit ninety percent attendance of voting
members. (And at dinner time on a Friday night, with a four day notice. Well done!)
This is an amazing outcome of support, and will bullet-proof the assembly vote, should it be
challenged. Awesome! It is a testimony to the dedication that all of you have, to restore Liberty.
Thank you.
Special thanks to Shelby Lewark for serving as Secretary of the assembly (as well as getting on the
phone and calling people who didnt RSVP immediately. You are kick-ass sister!)
Thanks also to Tomoko Kotaka and Sue Moore for stepping up to serve on the Teller Committee.
Certifying the vote is critical to ensuring integrity in the process.
Id also like to give a shout out to Kara Kenfield, who as our notary tonight, crossed the Ts and
dotted the Is. Thanks for being there for us.
And finally, thank you to both Gavin Halligan, and Ben Higgins. The fact that either of you even
considered public service in this capacity is worthy of a fist bump. *BUMP!*
Its been a whirlwind week. I hope your weekend it restful and renewing.
Thank you all again.
For Liberty,
Jerry Koerber

Sue,
My records indicate that we do not have bylaws on file for HD4. They were not needed or required
because the vacancy committee roster was provided to us.
I cannot answer your questions about the state partys bylaws. That is a legal question that should be
resolved by contacting the state party.
Thank you,

Hi Ben,
I looked Mr. Higgins up in our statewide voter registration database. He
has been affiliated with the Republican Party since 2014. As a member of
a party (as opposed to being unaffiliated), he would have had to either be
nominated at his partys assembly in March, or turn in a candidate
petition, which would have been due to our office on April 4.
Because Mr. Higgins missed these deadlines, he is not eligible to run for
House District 4 this year.
I hope that helps.
Regards,
Ben Schler

I'll let the reporter figure it out.
