Colorado: 6th Cd

In the Battle of the Senators for the title Ms. 6th CD, Senator Ted Harvey edged out Senator Steve Ward at the 6th congressional district assembly on Saturday polling 53 percent to Ward's 43 percent. Pepito Castellanes, also ran and confirmed his "also ran" status by polling only 4 percent of the vote.

The result gets Harvey the top slot on the ballot for the Republican primary in August to succeed the retiring Tom Tanocredo.

Last week when the members of the 6th Congressional executive committee met to discuss the final details surrounding this Saturday's congressional assembly there was allegedly much consternation coming from the Ward campaign about voting rules for the assembly.
