The judge ruled the case had to be expedited due to the upcoming election and the ability for the state Republican party to function as intended.

In Tuesday’s hearing, counsel for Williams requested that the trial be postponed until after the November election. They argued party resources had already been allocated leading up to Election Day.
Counsel for Bremer argued that Williams and a group of his supporters on the CRC maintained control of key Colorado Republican Party assets.
Judge Eric Bentley found that the CRC cannot operate effectively and as intended until the leadership struggle is resolved, setting the case for trial on October 14. Bentley said he expects the trial to last two to two-and-a-half days.
Meantime, a separate lawsuit filed in Arapahoe County covering many of the same issues is currently moving through the appeals process.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) could also step in to resolve the conflict, but has so far kept itself removed from the fight. Williams is still listed as state party chairman on the RNC website.
