“I am not surprised with Morse getting recalled. Colorado Springs is a conservative area. But, Pueblo???”
Actually, both districts were won by Obama by 20+ points in 2012. They are both SAFE or ULTRA-SAFE dem districts.
I think the difference in the recall margins is that Morse race was the more important and he got a lot more money from Bloomberg et al. He was the Senate president. Two of the reasons he was chosen was he was in a safe district and term-limited, hence, the dems thought he was immune to voter pressure when he acted like an a$$hole. So he bacame a public face for the gun grabbers.
Giron was chair of the “kill” committee, where Republican bills are sent by leadership to die. She was there because dems though she could vote to kill popular Republican bills because she too was in a safe district. In her district, the swing was 32% from Obama’s margin to her loss. Ouch.
Recall is effective immediately. So both are out of office as of about 10 pm this evening. Dems still hold a one seat majority in the Senate and will have to select a new Senate President and a new chair for the kill committee.
In an honest election, Morse would have lost 75% to 25%. As it was, he nearly won. The reason being the college kids committing voter fraud by the backpacks full .
Someone should be going through the dorms at Colorado College as I type this with a 1,000 feet of rope cut into 7 ft lengths and stringing the bastards up.
It’s got me shaken up.
6 months following the defeat of Ken Buck for US Senate ( he lost by about a 1,000 votes)The CO SOS issued a report showing 5,000 illegals voted in that election in that district. No arrests, prosecutions, or warnings were issued. Business as usual.
Had this been a mail in ballot election, yesterday would have be 180 degrees different.
Yesterday was the last non-mail-in-ballot in CO.
I doubt this will ever happen again in my lifetime.
