If you're really from Australia, it would make sense that you don't understand how federal elections work in America.
You see, each state has a certain amount of "electoral votes" that go toward the total for the Presidential election. There are 538 total votes available and a candidate needs a clear majority of 270 votes to win the Presidency.
Colorado has 10 electoral votes. Here in Pennsylvania, we have 19. Florida has 30, Texas 40, California 54, etc. Whomever wins each state, gets that state's electoral votes.
What a disqualification means for trump in Colorado is, he has no access to that state's 10 electoral votes. He can't win them no matter how Coloradans want to vote for a wannabe fascist dictator who tried to overthrow the U.S. government.
All it takes is a few other states to follow suit, and well, trump will have no chance. No matter how many toothless rednecks in Alabama and West Virginia vote for him, he won't be able to get to 270.
Make sense now?

I understand the system here... You're just wrong
about what Colorado can do.
IF Republicans caucas their primary - and just
declare Trump the Republican choice in the
general election- that's it...
Trump's name might not appear on the ballot, but you are
also aware that people could just write His name in, yes?
Same circumstance here - Trump can simply be the choice
of the Republican party.
... Like so:
-------------------------------------------------------
For President of the United States
(mark your choice)
Joe Biden - Democrat ____
................ - Republican ____
-----------------------------------------------------
Ballot won't have Trump's name on it, but Trump will
be the Republican's "declared choice" to receive ALL
the Republican votes in the state.
... See? ... Problem solved!
