They voted for delegates, who in turn voted for other delegates, etc. Basic representative democracy, which is exactly how caucuses work. Would it be accurate to say "nobody voted" in Iowa?

It was the exact same way Colorado has chosen electors for the last 14 years. And I'd point out that even for Presidential elections, we vote for electors, not for the actual President. And if no candidate wins a majority of the electors, it gets tossed into the House, where our elected representatives vote for the President.

Kind of like how if no candidate has a majority on the first ballot at the Convention, it gets tossed to the judgement of the delegates we elected.

Post GD elections numbers of the Colorado population, listing how many millions or hundreds of thousands voted and for which candidate.

Post it. Do it. Let me see the voter counts!

Stop lying, Iowa had a binding presidential preference poll along with electing delegates, which Colorado did not. “We the people” was not represented in the process in Colorado and it disfranchisement close to a million GOP voters.

Wow more lies from a Lyin’ Ted supporter? Shocking.
In the presidential race we vote for electors who are bound to only vote for the candidate who won the state by popular vote. Which is the exact opposite of what happened in Colorado.
