A group that wants to recall Colorado Governor Jared Polis has been given the green light to start circulating petitions to get a special election on the ballot this fall.
Signature gatherers now have 60 days to collect 631,000 signatures from registered Colorado voters. If they succeed, it will be the first time in Colorado’s history that a sitting governor has faced a recall election.
Conservatives who support the recall effort say Polis and other Democratic lawmakers deserve to be ousted from office for passing a gun control law and new restrictions on the oil and gas industry, as well as for binding Colorado’s Electoral College votes to the winner of the national popular vote.
But Polis beat his Republican opponent by 10 points just eight months ago and a recent poll from Keating Research showed 55 percent of Coloradans think the state is on the right track.
