Leader of the Colorado senate faces a recall

Here's an update to my April 4 post about some Colorado politicians facing a recall by their constituents because they supported gun control legislation at the state level. Senate President John Morse could be an ex-Senator soon. It seems that supporters of his recall had no trouble raising the required 7200 signatures from Senator Morse's constituents. In fact, they raised a whopping 16,000 signatures! Now those signatures must be verified by the Secretary of State to be sure enough of them are valid. If there are enough valid signatures the Senator will have the option of stepping down--in which case the Democrat party would appoint a new senator to fill the remainder of Morse's term of office, or if he doesn't resign, the governor would call a special election for Morse's senate seat. Obviously, when the senator adopted an anti-Second Amendment position, he didn't consider the large number of pro-freedom voters in his constituency.
