Two Democratic lawmakers in Colorado, including the president of the state senate, were recalled Tuesday in elections brought about by their support for tougher gun control laws.Theys lost in spite of what looks like the usual vote fraud attempts by democrats.
According to unofficial results, voters in Colorado Springs favored recalling state Sen. John Morse, the body's president, by 51 percent to 49 percent. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, state Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo was defeated in her recall election, 56 percent to 44 percent.
The Colorado Republican Party called the vote results "a loud and clear message to out-of-touch Democrats across the nation" in a statement released late Tuesday. Colorado's Democratic governor, John Hickenlooper, said he was "disappointed by the outcome of the recall elections" before calling on state residents to "refocus again on what unites Coloradans -- creating jobs, educating our children, creating a healthier state -- and on finding ways to keep Colorado moving forward."

Victory: Two Demo lawmakers in Colorado recalled over support for tougher gun control laws
After Congress failed to enact tougher gun laws after the Newtown shooting, these democratic legislators led an effort in Colorado to ban 15-round limits on ammunition magazines and expand background checks on private gun sales. 23 percent of registered voters signed a petition to have a recall vote. They have both now been replaced by republicans.
