COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - State Senate President John Morse and Senator Angela Giron were both removed from office Tuesday by voters upset with their stance on gun control.
Unofficial final results updated by the El Paso County Clerk at 10:02 p.m. showed 50.96 percent of voters wanted Morse to be recalled.
"The highest rank in a democracy is citizen, not senate president," he said at the conclusion of his concession speech, in which he promised to continue his work.
Giron, who was winning in the first preliminary data, has also lost. Unofficial results show 56 percent of voters in favor of recalling her. As of 10:30 p.m., 34,556 votes had been counted.
Giron spoke to a crowd in her headquarters at 10:45 p.m., but didn't explicitly concede.
"I'm a little perplexed, but this is what I know: I know that I have not one iota of regret from what I voted on," she said.

Well done Coloradans! I’m very pleased for you.
****Im a little perplexed, but this is what I know: I know that I have not one iota of regret from what I voted on, she said.****
Well, well, this appears to be a case where the Latina Female was not very wise.
Giron hasn’t an “iota” of a clue because she is an “idiota”.
Thank you, VR-21.
Don’t move there until they UNDO the Gun Control Laws they already Passed.
With the Governor they have, it won’t happen. Imagine Obama signing a Bill passed by Congress that defunds Obamacare. Same situation.
This is just a small Victory and the Press will just call it a temper tantrum with no lasting results.
My Brother has lived in CO for over 30 years and he assured me that there were no Gun Grabbers there. He was wrong.
“Ousted by big margins even with the normal dem vote fraud.”
Thats part of the story of tonight. We were outspent about 7-1.
Even more important.
* Morse district is a SAFE democrat district.
* Girons is an ULTRA-SAFE democrat district.
Obama won both districts by about 20% points in 2012.
But both were recalled. Giron was recalled in a democrat, hispanic stronghold by 12%. Thats a 32% point swing.
Even more important, they were recalled despite a radical new voting law dems passed that simplify most of their favorite forms of vote fraud. So, for example, Morse won despite busloads of Colorado College students from out of state registering as district residents today with no ID.
The great Obama/Bloomberg/Hickenlooper gun grab of 2013 is over and will not return for a decade.
Thatl leanm
It probably won't, doc1019, but by all gods I disbelieve in, I'm deeply and richly delighted to see two self-appointed geniuses get smartly and publicly slapped.
Those students should go to prison.
What we have here is failure...to...communicate!
Good news today, first the Weiner got roasted then this.
This should be a headline on Drudge.
LOL!!
And when will they be gone from office?
