Colorado: Broomfield Recall effort challenged over claims of false information

The recall effort against Broomfield City Councilmember Todd Cohen is being challenged on claims that the petitions contain false information. Petitioners seem to have gotten the needed signatures -- they handed in 1356 signatures, 1246 were verified. 1083 were needed.

The recall is over his support for two gun control ordinances that passed, one of which required serialized numbers to prevent ghost guns and banning open carry. Petitioners are also complaining about a water tank bill and homelessness. Another councilmember, Heidi Henkel, was also targeted, but since she is up for reelection, it seems like there is no real effort against her.

The anti-recall group is citing a potential cost of $76,000 for the recall.
