Title: Recall Efforts in CO. Senate President will be Recalled
Post by: Scout26 on June 05, 2013, 08:55:52 AM: http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/red-pill-blue-bill/2013/jun/3/sen-john-morse-recalled/

It appears they have 2x the required number of signatures, which should withstand challenges. And it was entirely a grassroots effort, helped along by the usual arrogance of our "betters".

This should serve a warning to DC.

Watch for Colorado to address this soon.

No, the petition sets off the election.

It's just a big deal the petition number was reached, and surpassed so easily.

Post by: Scout26 on June 06, 2013, 08:38:37 AM: If it's part of state law, then I have no problem with it. The only problem I had with the Walker recall was the typical shenanigans (outright fraud, intimidation, etc.) that the left routinely uses as part and parcel of any election effort.

However, even with all that Walker was able to to not only beat the recall, but increased his margin of victory from the previous election. Again, exposing the astroturf of the left's effort.

We shall see how this plays out. My understanding of the reason Colorado went "blue" this last election is because there were several races that had Tea Party/Libertarian candidates that split the vote with Republicans allowing Democrats (especially the Governor) to win with less than a plurality.

Here's hoping the recall election goes as well as the petition drive.
