and it cheapens the real, legit reasons to recall an elected official...

Naturally, it didn't escape my notice that the organizer of this recall doesn't even LIVE in Morse's goddamned district (sort of like Walker getting 99.999% of his millions from shady, out-of-state sources)...And even the organizer admits it's as much about getting a Dem out of office as it is about the gun vote...Looks like a circumvention of democracy to me....
