There are legislators ColoradoPols just does not like. Andrew Romanoff and Angela Giron are two prime examples.
It doesn’t matter what good they accomplished- all Pols can do is reiterate the most trivial of critiques from two people in one 2013 focus group, as the basis for a claim that “ Democrats just don’t like Angela Giron.”
In Giron’s case, she was the prime Senate sponsor and mover of the Modernized Elections Act, which we all have to thank for Colordo’s all-mail ballot elections and same-day registration. These pioneering election laws are still keeping Colorado’s voter turnout among the highest in the nation, and are a major factor in Colorado becoming the “gold standard” for accessible and secure elections. If you like your mail in ballot, you can thank Angela Giron.
But Pols never will.
Angela Giron had the courage to fight for reasonable and necessary limits on the ease with which too many gun-addled killers can acquire the tools of the carnage they inflict. She paid for it with a recall. I'd say that she showed conscience. Pueblo would be lucky to have her again represent the district in the state senate.
Giron's recall was silly. The vacancy it created was filled by bumbling local GOP operative George Rivera, who served for a nondescript year before losing his bid to be elected to a Democrat.
In the end, all the recall accomplished was invalidation of the majority's votes over a law that remains on the books today.
