Park County GOP Resolutions for 2024 that passed at Assembly.
RESOLUTION 1 - PASSED: Voter Integrity Resolution - Machines/Hand Count
Whereas: Colorado’s election process has become increasingly complex but less transparent resulting in critical vulnerabilities to errors and fraud that have been proven in many cases and sometimes are so complex they are difficult to detect:
1) all-mail ballots, 2) bloated voter rolls, 3) accepted forms of identification insufficient to verify the identity and eligibility of voters casting ballots, 4) the potential of voting in multiple counties, and 5) technology like Dominion that is vulnerable to security breaches and rely on pre-election testing and post-election audits that are unlikely to detect incorrect vote tabulation that could change the outcome of close elections;
Whereas: The voters of Park County and the voters of Colorado have increasingly lost faith that our elections are secure, and have become disenfranchised from the process, also an illegally cast vote directly cancels a legally cast votes, neutralizing the voter’s voice; all of which is a form of voter suppression.
Therefore, Be it resolved that the Park County Republicans support that: The elections belong to We the People, with a fundamental and Unalienable Right to verifiably accurate and valid elections, and in order to retain this Right, the Party calls for county & statewide election system changes that rely on: bipartisan citizen volunteers to conduct single-day elections with in-person voting at the local precinct level requiring valid photo identification, using printed poll books and paper ballots to be voted in secret and cast only by eligible voters, with ballots hand tabulated in the local polling place under camera, with a 100% audit of the closest contest in each county, with reinstatement of the responsibility to the county canvass boards to certify that the elections were correctly tabulated, with only absentee mail in ballots for those that are housebound or traveling or our military overseas and must be applied for in advance in writing, with declaration of a county, state and or national holiday on both primary and general elections.

RESOLUTION 4 - PASSED: Colorado STATE Illegal Migrant NON-Sanctuary status for Federal Immigration Crisis
Whereas: the Colorado Republican Party has a duty to inform citizens so they may hold our elected officials to their oath of office and the Constitution of the United States;
Whereas: all elected officials should take immediate action to uphold their oath of office for the health, safety, and well-being of its citizens and issue a similar declaration; and WHEREAS, Colorado has witnessed negative impacts to its citizens from the current immigration crisis and those cities designating themselves as sanctuary cities;
Whereas: Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s office has said the city could spend up to $180 million dollars managing the immigration crisis in 2024, and, illegal aliens are now reported to be camping outside our rural towns and cities which could strain taxpayer resources already dedicated to helping those in need that live in Colorado including veterans, elderly citizens, children of all ages, and the homeless;
Whereas: the Colorado Republican Party will continue to urge state and local governments to prioritize the needs and safety of our citizens, and that mission has been jeopardized by the Governor’s support and signature for sanctuary laws that hobbled sheriffs and police and our justice system such as HB19-1124, SB19-30, HB21-1194, and HB23-1100; and,
Whereas: under President Trump, the apprehensions of illegal aliens were the lowest in 45 years to less than 1500 apprehensions a day, and under President Biden the apprehension numbers have reached up to 15,000 a day with 45 percent coming from countries outside of Mexico and Central America; and
Whereas: the Biden Administration ended Trump Administration policies including detention and deportation of illegal aliens and thus failed to execute the rule of law to secure our country’s borders and caused this crisis to overwhelm this nation and our cities in the state of Colorado;
Therefore, Be it resolved that the Park County Republicans support that: The Colorado Republican Party members declare that Colorado should not be a sanctuary state that perpetuates the failures of the Federal government nor continues the misuse of taxpayers’ dollars resulting from this illegal immigration crisis, and child trafficking crisis, affecting Colorado.
Be it further resolved, that we call on the federal government, the executive branch and our representatives in Congress to secure funding for the safety and sovereignty of our country by expanding a secure border wall and barriers, and enforce all congressionally enacted and future enacted laws against any and all foreigners who enter this country illegally, enforcing Article 4 and Immigration act of 1986, while also reinstating Trump Administration policies such as Safe Third Countries, Title 42, and freezing foreign aid to countries unwilling to enforce their borders that affect our country;
Be it further resolved that no illegal immigrant in Colorado shall be given any taxpayer money
Be it further resolved, no non-governmental organizations shall receive any taxpayer funding to support directly or indirectly illegals in any form. If NGOs wish to support illegals, they must receive voluntary donations from private sources.
