Sen. John Morse recalled: First Colorado legislative recall
[COMMUNITIES.WASHINGTONTIMES] 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.

The Recall Morse committee filed over 16,000 signatures, more than double the required number.

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

That arrogant attitude was cited more than any other by people signing the recall petition.
The recall is not official until the Secretary of State's office certifies that there are at least 7,178 valid signatures, or 25 percent of the number of ballots cast in the election that Morse won in 2010. Organizers of the recall effort are confident that they have more than enough signatures to withstand scrutiny.

Although the number of signatures invalidated varies, organizers of petition drives in Colorado usually aim for one-third more than the required minimum number, making the challenge of recall that much harder. The recall committee absolutely knocked it out of the park despite the odds.

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."
