BREAKING: @SenJohnMorse CONCEDING in #COrecall #COpolitics #COleg — Eli Stokols (@EliStokols) September 11, 2013
UPDATE 2: Morse recall results stay steady with about 3,000 more votes counted.
UPDATE ON MORSE RECALL: 15302 votes counted, 52% yes, 48% no. Bad news for Dems, as margin worsens. #COpolitics #COleg

As 9News’ Brandon Rittiman notes, it’s looking real ugly for Morse:
After latest refresh, @SenJohnMorse needs to win 78% of the remaining votes to win. Looks very likely the #recall will succeed. #COleg

UPDATE: Giron results have only trickled in. Hard to tell too much at this point:
#COrecall RT @EliStokols: In Pueblo, @SenGiron gets 69% voting no on her recall, but that’s from less than 700 votes counted. #COpolitics

Caution: These are only partial results. Only 14 22/ 31 precincts are reporting so far, according to the AP:
BREAKING: First #recall results show 52-48 vote yes to recall @SenJohnMorse. Too close to call off early vote. #9NEWS #COleg

Some context via The Denver Post’s Kurtis Lee:
Total votes cast is about 17.2K. Early results account for about 12.9K. 52 percent “yes” to recall. 47 percent “no.” #copolitics #coleg

The Associated Press is also running their own live updates of results from both races here.
LOOK HERE VOTERS, there is a legal, peaceful way to rectify our current political crisis! This can be done in any voting precinct, or municipality, county, state or federal jurisdiction! All it requires is for the people to get behind what is right and what is good for them and their country.
I believe Giron is gone. Can yea hear us now? Much gnashing of libtard teeth tonight.
Steve Novak , wrong and you are a loser… Don't mess with the Conservative Constitutionalist…Now go play… with your progressive liberal socialist friends…like in California or somewhere
Everyone I know voted on paper to recall Giron.
I hope this scares the begeezes out of all legislators who think passing unneeded gun restriction laws that don't accomplish anything useful is OK. Recalls should be activated against all Senators or Represenatives that vote on any legislation that they haven't read or have in-depth knowledge about what is in the legislation proposed. Voting without knowing what is actually in the bill is irresponsible and should be considered criminal. It is not representing the people who voted for them. They hold the office to represent their constituents, not gain kudos from their political party or their drinking buddies.
Giron is the less honest about her intentions of the two- she is a liar and a cheater and a race baiter- but she had the sense to shut her yap. Morse didn't, and was honest about his scorn for his constituents in this mob rule legislative session and afterwards. Colorado Springs won't put up with that- Pueblo is bought and paid for.
Issues. Let's see the machines weren't certified in accordance with the law, and operating improperly, since they weren't fixed after the last fixed election. (the one where votes were automatically changed to Obama votes). Not to mention Ortiz already favoring Giron. The fix is in.
Totally expected that Pueblo County would be having problems.. The County Clerk has problems, mostly self-made.. But he's being watched.. Watched pretty heavy…
Had what,,,3 months to get ready for this thing,,,why is it,,,every time we have an election,,,there is something wrong with the vote….
Pueblo County Clerk is having issues, go figure.
C'mon already – let's see some results!!!
🙂 i hope the people of colorado get what they want…..
