(GunReports.com) — The group working to recall Colorado Senate President John Morse over the passage of Democratic gun control legislation earlier this year turned in more than 16,000 signatures at the Secretary of State’s office Monday morning.
That’s more than double the number of valid signatures — 7,178, a percentage of voter turnout in 2010 when Morse was elected — that will be needed to force a recall election in El Paso County later this year.
“This sends a strong message,” said Rob Harris, who delivered three boxes full of petitions to the Secretary of State’s office. “We’ve obtained enough signatures to recall a state legislator for the first time in the history of Colorado.”
