Please discuss the Colorado recall election results here. I searched FR and did not find a thread. I have also searched the internet and the CO Secretary of State web site, and have been unable to find any results page for these elections. So, if anybody can find any info, please post here.
He has already conceded.
I’ve seen too many un-concession speeches in the last 10 years.
Woo hoo...go for two!
No, she’s in Pueblo.
So did Gore
Correction—270 left to count. In the least, yes will lead after the initial results are in.
So did Gorelioni.
Looks like a win, they had the green check mark

You have to remember that in Washington State back in 2004 Christine Gregoire and Dino Rossi were running for state guv and it was so close they had a recount or three.
“The election was held on November 2, 2004, with the initial count showing Gregoire trailing Rossi by 261 votes. However, a legally mandated machine recount reduced that lead to only 42 votes, then a hand count that was requested and funded by the state’s Democratic Party gave Gregoire a 10-vote lead. Following a State Supreme Court ruling that allowed several hundred ballots from King County to be included, her lead was further increased to 130 votes,[14] but when the vote was certified by the state’s Secretary of State, Sam Reed, at the end of December, one vote which had been counted in Thurston County past the deadline was disqualified and her lead was reduced to 129 votes.[15] Washington’s Republican leadership then filed suit, claiming that hundreds of votes, including votes by felons,[16] deceased voters,[17] and double voters,[17] were included in the canvass, but on June 6, 2005, Judge John E. Bridges ruled that the Republican party did not provide enough evidence that the disputed votes were ineligible—or for whom they were cast—to overturn the election.[18]
Judge Bridges did note that there was evidence that 1,678 votes had been illegally cast throughout the state,[19] but found that the only evidence submitted to show how those votes had been cast were sworn statements from four felons that they had voted for Rossi.[19] He subtracted those four votes from Rossi’s total and upheld the election.[20]
On October 28, 2004, the Seattle Times reported that out-of-state donors were contributing heavily to Gregoire’s campaign coffers.[21] More than $1,000,000 was given to the Democratic Governor’s Association from trial lawyers who had worked closely with Gregoire on the 1998 tobacco settlement. According to the Seattle Times’ analysis, nearly half of Gregoire’s 2004 campaign contributions came from out-of-state.[21]”

500 votes is a lot to make up in an election this small. I doubt even a Magic Recount will work.
These recall efforts, with all the fraud that is taking place, and the rallies that are going to be in DC tomorrow, show what freedom loving Americans can do, if they stick together.
One would think that the Republicans will take this as a signal that enough is enough. But they won’t.
Oh well. Congrats to the people of Colorado. Enjoy taking your state back.
Agreed—if the jump from 93 to 96% had cut the margin to under 300, things would still be in doubt. As it is, it should be at least 350 in the end, which should be good enough—though not a great margin was left for error.
Weren’t the folks that started the recall not even savoy in politics?
got her and morse confused....my bad.
Looks like she’s headed for the street as well.
Thanks,qaz123.
Right now it’s 500 favoring the Second Amendment, and frankly, that last 4% could even make the lead greater.... instead of cutting it....
:)
We can only hope she is coming to concede
