In the shadow of former President Donald Trump, the Republican party is trying to find its footing nationally and in many corners of the county.
In Colorado, after facing major losses in the last few cycles, a volatile election for the party chair in El Paso County — one of the GOP's traditional strongholds — shows how deep some of the divides have become.
