Colorado Democrats – Always Looking For New Ways To Thwart The Will Of Their Constituents

Two Colorado Democrats targeted for recall elections for supporting the state’s new gun control laws were pursuing legal challenges to avoid going back to the ballot this year after failing to have the recall efforts thrown out.

Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, on Tuesday failed in her effort to have the recall petition against her thrown out because it was improperly worded. Democratic Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs lost an identical argument last week.

KDVR.com reported that Democratic lawyer Mark Grueskin filed a lawsuit Tuesday appealing the Morse decision, arguing that the petition should be thrown out because it failed to include language informing signers that a recall election would be held to appoint a successor.

“A petition form must inform unsophisticated as well as sophisticated voters who are considering whether or not to sign the petition,” Grueskin argued in his appeal. An appeal from Giron supporters was imminent.

Deputy Secretary of State Suzanne Staiert said in both decisions that recall elections are “a fundamental right” and that the petition questions were enough to meet the legal threshold for valid recalls
