Secretary of State Certifies Morse recall Signatures

[sturn18]

I'm a little surprised that the post even reported this.

Me thinks this has gone further than Mr. Morse anticipated...

Looks like he might beat it by a technicality. Supposedly the recall petitions have to ask voters for a "successor" and this recall petition didn't do that.

I sure hope the organizers didn't shoot themselves in the foot.

Nope, the petition solely says you want the miscreant recalled and why. The ballot will have two questions: 1) should Senator Morse be recalled and 2) who do you want to replace Senator Morse if he is recalled?

Morse can't be on question 2 and he's out of office the morning after the election when question 1 succeeds.

I really hope you are right - I saw this and it made me nervous... http://coloradopols.com/diary/44669/...all-the-recall

I know which way that site leans (the opposite of right), so I hope they are foolishly optimistic.

It would break my heart to see such a resounding 'hands-off' be defeated because of a technicality.

Indeed, though it'd probably add fuel to the fire of creating Northern Colorado (or Eastern CO, as one editorial I read today suggested).

About time these fools wake up to reality. They think they can trample on our rights then just sit back and laugh about it? I'm hoping that right about now these fools are realizing they do not have majority support and Colorado is still occupied by a strong group of conservatives who believe in God, guns & freedom. I hope Hudak follows right behind Morse. They can both take a long walk off of a short pier.
