BREAKING: Colorado Recall – Anti Gun Senate President John Morse RECALLED

September 10 2013

State Senate President and one of the architects of Colorado’s passage of strict gun control measures earlier this year, John Morse, has conceded the Colorado recall election. He is now officially recalled.

The results are unofficial at this point, but the numbers are nearly impossible for Morse to make up.

The tally currently stands at 52.37% in favor of recalling Morse and 47.63% opposed to the recall with 86% of districts reporting.

Political analysts thought John Morse would need a strong turnout in order to keep his state senate seat in Colorado.

Unfortunately for him, he did not get it. State Senate President and one of the architects of Colorado’s passage of strict gun control measures earlier this year has been officially RECALLED.

The votes recorded, according the Denver Post, were as followed, “The El Paso County clerk’s office records vote totals by party affiliation as follows: Republicans 6,647; Democrats, 5,784; and unaffiliated, 4,580.”

That was out of nearly 70,000 registered voters in Morse’s district.

Both sides of the gun debate at the national level got involved in the local race.

According to the NY Times, billionaires Michael Bloomberg and Eli Broad have each donated over $250,000 to defending the anti-gun senators during the recall bid.

The NRA’s contribution was in the $100,000 range, with total donations from conservative outlets estimated in the half a million dollar range.

According to the Times,

The influx of money has allowed each side to claim that its opponents are being manipulated by outside interests. One advertisement by the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners said Mr. Morse was taking “marching orders” from the “billionaire playboy” Mr. Bloomberg. A fund-raising e-mail from Senator Gillibrand called the election “a wrongful recall by the N.R.A.”

Colorado’s vote is being watched closely around the nation as a litmus test of how voters respond to new gun measures in a swing state with an ingrained culture of hunting, sport shooting and gun ownership.

“There’s symbolic importance to both sides,” said Eric Sondermann, a political analyst in Denver. “If they’re recalled, it would be interpreted as a rejection of the gun control agenda, a rejection of what Colorado passed. If these two prevail, then maybe that’s one more nick in the armor of the N.R.A. and the gun advocates.”

There is a price to pay when you play big Lib too far.

Jeez that had to be crushing to have lost his seat, it's one thing to lose reelection but to have your time cut short and to lose such a chair of power is ... well sobering.

A lot of people were upset with a NY liberal sticking his nose up their a## trying to sway the election.

#Giron hasn't conceded, but numbers show she has lost her recall race. #coleg #copolitics

Language for the "yes" ballots, authored by proponents of the recall, said the lawmakers were guilty of contempt for "the constitutional liberties of the people" and "firearm manufacturers and for the rights of Colorado citizens"

The NRA will now go to work overturning this legislation with a new makeup in the legislature...or by litigation, as well as the NY and CT laws.

This kind of thing and legislation works well in states where the majority of people are not idiots. In other states, IL and CA for example, the only thing that works is litigation. A court to tell them "No, you can't do that"

One way or another. All the same to me.

Congratualtions to the NRA in another sucessful effort and to the people of these districts of Colorado.

I hope Bloomberg keeps up his good work.

In addition to transferring 10's of millions of dollars to the NRA, his efforts have consistently be helpful in defeating the legislation he claims to "support"

Maybe he should just write a check and make it payable to "NRA-ILA"

Thank you Mayor Bloomberg! Carry on!
