Repercussions: Sen. John Morse recalled
First Colorado legislative recall

Petition signatures filed with the Colorado Secretary of State’s office are more than sufficient to recall state senator John Morse (D). The recall is the first recall of a Colorado legislator in the state’s history. - Al Maurer/Washington Times h/t: Debbie

In his position as the senate president this past session, Morse coordinated the passage of anti-Second Amendment bills over massive citizen opposition....

Refusal to listen to his constituents is par for the course for Morse, who on national television described how he counseled fellow senators to ignore their constituents’ email and calls and vote for the gun control bills.

That arrogant attitude was cited more than any other by people signing the recall petition. A large number of people signing the petition said they had voted for Morse and wanted to fix their mistake.

“We want a representative, not a ruler,” Harris said. “Morse has tried to be a ruler and we’re firing him.”
