Colorado: Westminster Mayor and Councilmember recall get enough signatures for the ballot; two others fail to clear the bar

The twists and turns over the Westminster recall has now hit a new note, with petitioners getting enough signatures to get recalls against Westminster Mayor Herb Atchison and Councilor Jon Voelz to get to the ballot, but petitions against Councilors Anita Seitz and Kathryn Skulley failing to clear the bar. This all comes after a state judge ruled that a city clerk was wrong in tossing out signatures due to petitioners unstapling the cover sheets of the petitions. The judge ruled that the stapling issue was unintentional. The recall is over water bills. Petitioners needed 25% of turnout, which is 5009 signatures for Atchison and 6,098 for the three council members. Skulley's signatures missed by 61; Atchison by 282; Voelz by 635 and Seitz by 757. Atchison's effort got more than a 1000 over the limit and Voelz just got 9. Seitz missed by 35 signatures and Skulley by 23.
