Colorado Recall Elections

Time now 7:26. No results available, but the first lawsuit alleging irregularities has already been filed in Pueblo county. I'm hearing that Dem turnout was strong there, which makes sense in a strongly Dem district. I've also heard that Angela Giron is none too popular with her fellow Dems on account of several other votes she cast which would raise taxes and utility bills.
In El Paso county turnout seems to be running 55/45 in favor of Republicans assuming the independents break proportionately. This bodes ill for Sen. Morse.

9:30
Morse concedes! Losing 52.3/47.6, with 83% reporting he gives up. One down.
Giron losing. 56.9/43. 25% reporting . Doesn't look good here either.

10:00
With 43% reporting Giron margin holding at  56.9/43. At this point, I'd say Giron was toast.

10:30
Giron 62% in 59.8/40.1. Giron is out
Morse 100% in 50.9/49  Morse has conceded.

Congratulations folks, we're 2 for 2 barring Sen Morse finding 400 ballots in his favor in the trunk of a '71 Cad Eldorado parked down by the river side under a bridge.
