Colorado: Signatures validated against four Walsenburg Councilmembers

The recall effort against Walsenburg Councilmembers Greg Daniels, Veronica Maes, Nick Vigil and Carmen Lara has gotten on the ballot. 

The efforts against Mayor Charles Bryant and two other council members, Ricky Jennings and Don Martinez, failed to make the ballot.

Daniels got 102 signatures, 95 valid (needed 75). Maes got 91-84-75, Ward, 97-89-75, and Vigil 92-84-75. 

Only 52 signatures were turned in for Bryant (they needed 231) and 15 against Jennings (needed 78) and 29 against Martinez (78 needed). 

There is still a recall efforts against Bryant, which Daniels Lara and Vigil are both a part of. We'll see what happens. 

The issue seems to be an internal battle in the government and the mayor has encouraged the recall effort against what he calls a "culture of corruption" saying they need a "hard reset." Apparently, the mayor and  Jennings (who is mayor pro tem) are on one side of the aisle.
