I’m overjoyed at these recalls, but isn’t Gessler filing the case prematurely, since the 60 days isn’t up? I know that technically, Chickpooper can drag his feet until the last day and then “call” an election, but legally, Gessler doesn’t really have a case.
I haven't read the law but this could be an early suit to clarify a law that may never have been used. The demoRats will try to weasel out of anything.
No, because he doesn’t have 60 days to CALL the election, he has to set a date for the election that is within 60 days of when the election was certified. That needs to be done now, so there is enough time within those 60 days to prepare for the election.
With the ballots certified July 5th, the election should legally be held by September 3rd. Hickenlooper has already wasted almost 2 weeks of preparation time.
