DENVER (AP) 52; Members of Colorado's American Constitution Party are trying to figure out what to do next after winning more than 36 percent of the vote in the general election. Poster Comment:
That will make them Colorado's third major party, joining Democrats and Republicans in the big leagues, when the results are certified Nov. 26. They got there with help from former GOP congressman Tom Tancredo, who switched to their party to run for governor.
Now the party with just 30 members and 2,700 registered voters must figure out how to hold caucuses in 3,200 precincts across the state and deal with their fundamental opposition to primaries.
The party's secretary-treasurer, Amanda Campbell, says the party is hoping it can get exemptions or change some of its bylaws.

Did the GOP candidate actually win 10% of the vote to allow them to remain a third party candidate? It was looking dicey for a while.
Last I saw Maes was around 11%.
