Colorado attempts to recall Senators over gun control laws

[pudly]

whats the threshold for a seccessful recall? majority? 60%? 80%?

Appears to be simple majority from the reports I'm reading.

Can we get the two-fer?

Nothing set there. Only 3% counted/reported so far. Don't know what the delay is.

Lines of voters "intending" to move to Colorado Springs and Pueblo materialized outside polling stations at 6:55 pm, and they're still voting now?

Morse is offering a concession speech. One down, one to go.

43% reporting

Still 57% yes.

Looks like these politicians picked the wrong side.

With a little more luck, and a few more people waking up to whats happening, Bloomberg will have wasted his money. I know, he's got plenty but even a little wasted out of his wallet is a good thing!

The 'donations' to stop the recall are 12 to 1 against donations for the recall... They threw 12 times more money at it - and still couldn't stop it...

That, in and of itself, says something in my opinion.

With a little luck, every anti-2nd amendment politician regardless of party affiliation, will be paying attention to these results.

This just in:

Things tightened up a bit and turned it into a squeaker. Only 2.7% separation with 96% counted.


[h=4] Ballot Issue State Senate 3 - Recall Giron [/h] 43% reporting

Yes	56.9%	(9,521)
No	43.0%	(7,202)

Still 14% separation.

Here's hoping.

The Giron recall has stood at 57% for, 43% against since only 17.5% of the ballots had been tabulated. The fact that the trend hasn't shifted as ballots up to 43% of those cast have been tabulated would seem to insuring that Giron is going down as well.

 

[Mgderf]

62% reporting- 59.8% yes to recall Giron.

 

[TopDog]

I would say it is all over but the crying for Giron

62% reporting- 59.8% yes to recall Giron.

In the words of George Takei, "Oh my!"

Looks like we're getting a twofer tonight. Can someone tell me when the newly elected state politicoes assume power and the disgraced Leftists lose theirs? Is it immediate, or is there a timeline for the handing over of the reigns of power?

Michael Bloomberg is being shown to be the political poison that he is. No longer will the anti-gun Left be able to assure their fellows, "Go ahead and vote 'your conscience' on these gun 'safety' bills. We have the monied backing of powerful people. Your seats will be safe come the next election." Their seats won't just not be safe come the next election, but the American people will see to it that their seats don't remain safe to the next election.
