   He hasn't won the right to contest the election in CO, he's just won
   the right to be ON the ballot.

  I don't understand the difference between the two. If he's on the
  ballot, people can vote for him. You're implying that people could vote
  for him tomorrow but those votes wouldn't count.

   It was for all elections. So it shouldn't affect tomorrow's primary
   at all. The ballots were printed with his name on them. And yes it's
   possible to write in names,

  I'm surprised they put his name on the ballot if the court decided he
  was ineligible to be a candidate but that certainly makes things easier
  tomorrow.

Did they go with ballots with Trump's name on them and then were going to

The Colorado ruling was stayed by the courts themselves pending the U.S.

Right, but assume the Court upheld Colorado and said they could keep Trump off
the ballot. Were they just going to invalidate the votes of everyone who had
already voted for Trump before the Court's decision was announced?

 Funny... but Thanny and the MAGA's were willing to throw away millions of legally cast votes after Trump lost.
 17 Red states tried to throw out valid votes by the millions in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and more.
 Didn't hear a peep out of Thanniford then, did you?
