Supporters of the effort to recall Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) have until November 13 to submit 631,266 signatures to require a recall election. The recall was approved for circulation by Colorados secretary of state on September 14.
The recall effort is being organized by Lori Ann Cutunilli and Greg Merschel. Last year, Merschel was part of a different group that tried and failed to recall Polis. The current recall effort criticizes Polis over his use of executive orders in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Executive orders described in the recall petition include the mask mandate and the closing of businesses and houses of worship due to the pandemic. Merschel said the following on his reasons behind the second recall effort, Hes [Polis] ruling the state by executive order. Hes usurping the legislature.

Colorado has a Democrat state government trifecta. A state government trifecta exists when one political party simultaneously holds the governors office and both state legislative chambers. Democrats control the state Senate by a 19-16 margin and the state House by a 41-24 margin. Polis was elected as Colorados governor in 2018 with 53.4% of the vote.
Sixteen gubernatorial recall efforts are currently underway in 2020. Nine of those efforts are against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D). From 2003 to 2019, Ballotpedia tracked 21 gubernatorial recall efforts. During that time, two recalls made the ballot, and one governor was successfully recalled. Former California Gov. Gray Davis (D) was recalled in 2003 and replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger (R). In 2012, former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) was retained in a recall election.

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
A weak Republican like Schwarzenegger is worse than a hard-for Democrat.
Gov. polesmoker will be locking us down pretty soon. I signed, but I wonder if a list of those who signed is stored somewhere and for how long?
Just once??? Get out to the cemetery and nursing homes and find more votes. Turnabout is fair play.
It will be ran through a dominion system.
Well, I signed it, but with the built in vote fraud in CO, we’ll just get someone worse probably.
Bkmk
Polismoker will finish his terms, and then Michael HandCock will be the next governor.
I signed too, ditto my wife. They want to put me on a list of their enemies? I proudly wear that moniker- being an enemy of these types.
I signed after work at Hammer Down Firearms just north of 44th and Wadsworth last week.
They better have about 25% more signatures than needed...the left will toss a lot out.
