A group of gun-rights activists seeking to oust a top Democratic state lawmaker in Colorado
over the passage of strict gun control legislation on Monday
turned in double the signatures needed to force a recall election.

“This sends a strong message,”
Rob Harris, who delivered three boxes full of petitions to the office,
told KDVR. “We’ve obtained enough signatures to recall a state legislator
for the first time in the history of Colorado.”

The people that both pay attention and really want him gone did vote. He barely made reelection last year.

I think the 47% figure is a little low too. That's a lot of voters who vote strictly for free **** promises.

We need 100% attendance of our 49 or 48 % to win our country back.

I sometimes think the electoral college needs to go too. The high density big city loser areas over rule the rural and common sense thinking areas by a mile.

Doing away with the EC would just make this worse. It was designed to give more weight to lower population density, rural states. Methinks what we need is EC2....a revision that swings even more more power to the common sense and traditional values lower population density, rural areas and, states

Maybe apply land mass to the equation.

Like that map that floated around that was nearly covered for Romney. And states by majority had him winning.

And he still lost.

Good basic idea. How's this? Any state bordered by ocean gets deweighted by 50%. (except NH 'cause they only gots 14 miles so it would be unfair) :behindsofa:

[Bawanna]

Works for me.

so, does the Gulf of Mexico count as "ocean" in your equation?

Getting enough signatures to force th election is a relatively simple process. Getting those signatories to get off their duffes and vote is another thing. Incumbency always has the statistical advantage. More power to Coloradans but it is not as easy as many here think it is.

I hope not, It's a "Gulf" and most gulf states are "Red", pro-freedom, pro gun, less government states. :amflag:

No, of course not. It be a gulf.

The Gulf of Mexico is a part of the Atlantic Ocean.
