You just don't get it do ya? This wasn't a vote against a politician who voted for gun laws, it was a recall of a politician who ignored the will of their specific constituents
In this case, that's a a distinction without a difference.
Not to mention it's not even necessarily true. Had the constituency voted in it's normal, general election numbers, these elections easily could have gone the other way. This was a well conducted recall effort by a very vocal and very angry set of constituents - perhaps a majority, perhaps not.

Who voted does not matter. Who gets the seat the next go around does not matter. Whether the rest of Colorado agrees with the recall or not does not matter.What matters is the message that was sent matters.

Gross misuse of the recall. The recall is a mechanism to remove corrupt officials from office. It's not suppose to be used to remove politicians because of their votes on political issues. The mechanism for that is called THE NEXT ELECTION.
The Morse recall was especially gross in the cost to taxpayers - the man was term limited and couldn't seek re-election next year anyway.
Someone should tell that to the Democrats in Wisconsin.
This was not just about Colorado. To use an old analogy, it was a "shot across to bow" to all of the authoritarian control-freak politicians, both left and right, who think that they can ignore their constituents and shred the Constitution without consequences. Their days are numbered.

amen, its alot like who hard working, successful, freedom loving, gun owning Americans are leaving California, Going Galt.
Just curious how exactly did this change the gun laws in Colorado? Oh they didn't, hmmmm, does not sound like a win to me, especially since the probablity is those two seats will end up being filled by to people that will still support the laws. I do find it interesting that the same people that scream States Rights all the time are up in arms when a State actually uses their political power to pass laws those same people disagree with, is it States Rights only when you agree with what they are doing?

The majority of their constituents agree with the law. You were saying?
