The libertarians have 13 days left to gather 1,000 signature inside each district to be put on the ballot.

Morse, who is trying to retain his seat in the face of a recall effort sparked by his support of gun legislation, said the ruling will disenfranchise hundreds of voters, including those who are overseas.

Morse faux concern.

I suspect Morse may help the Libertarian get on the ballot. The Liber took enough votes from the R candidate in the last election for Morse to win.

In the 2010 general election, both Owen Hill (R) and John Morse (D) got just under 14,000 votes each, with Morse getting about 300 more. It's believed that if it wasn't for the Libertarian, the majority of the 1,300 votes he got would have otherwise gone to Hill, and so we ended up with Morse instead.

Truth be told, I'm of a libertarian bent as well, but it's more of a Rand Paul/Sarah Palin type. It's the doctrinaire Libertarians who've thrown this turd into the punch bowl.

Libertarian turd-in-the-punchbowl or not, if Morse doesn't like this, it must be a good thing, no?

This is probably good news for the good guys (and gals) here in Colorado. It gives the edge to the side that has the most dedicated (pissed off) voters since anyone who wants to vote has to drag their bee-hinds out to physically vote at the physical polls.
