District Court Chief Judge Michael Martinez ruled Monday that the request made by Buck and the committee would violate the law, because Stiver failed to reach the legally required threshold.

The committee voted to put Stiver on the November ballot, even though he had failed to reach the 30% threshold.

"I will seek legal counsel, as I am being asked to sign an affidavit that states Mr. Stiver received 30% of the vote," Bremer said.

Liston got 75%, and Stiver received just 24%.

Buck told The Denver Post that Stiver claimed the election was "unfair," and the state central committee agreed.
