New GOP Tactic-Start Recall On Lost Close Elections Where Legal. Colorado Now Serial Election State

[TheMastersNemesis]

The GOP has come up with a new election strategy. In close districts where GOP loses by close vote start immediate recall elections because lower voter turn out will allow nullification of general elections.

NRA is starting a campaign to take over Colorado State government to overturn recent gun safety legislation. After winning two recalls another has started with two or three being planned. This tactic is a new tactic that the GOP plans to use across the nation where recalls are legal under state law. It is probably a part of the NRA and even Koch strategy to take over as many legislatures as possible.

Colorado now faces a series of endless recalls. Under campaign laws the candidate cannot use left over money from general election to fund defense. They have to start fund raising all over again from 0. The recaller can apparently spend unlimited money to hire people to gather signatures.

This tactic is an aberration of the electoral process and is intended to overturn control of state legislatures.

1. This is why some issues (like gun control) are hot potatoes.

The GOP wants that people continue to get shot. It satisfies their need for human sacrifice.

3. Gun Nutters Believe In Carry Any Weapon Anywhere You Want - NRA Stand

Had a conversation with a Colorado Rep today who was recently in Kansas for a meeting. He was in a conversation with some pro gunner types there. He asked them where the gun possession stopped. He asked if they thought bazookas were ok. They said yes. He asked if private owner ship of machine guns were ok. They said yes.

Their response was that the 2nd Amendment allows an American to own or carry any weapon of choice. That you have to be able to arm yourself against government tyranny.

Anyone own an F-18 Hornet?

This mentality is what we are up against folks.

4. This Recall Option Is Serious. Gun Nutters Are Out Collecting Signatures In Our District.

And there is good intelligence that the gun nutters helped by the NRA are planning two or three more recalls in the spring. The belief here is that the GOP has decided on a new tactic to contest elections endlessly where recalls are possible at the state level.

They have figured out that they can overturn ANY election anywhere in the country at the state or local level with just 30j% or less of the vote. The recalls in the southern part of Colorado had no more than 30% turn out. On had less. The GOP has found a way to win an election over time with as little as 15% of the vote in an off time election.

5. This is, indeed, a problem.

Sounds to me like the recall law needs to be repealed.
