Colorado: State looks to handle local recall quorum problem

Colorado's House passed a bill that looks to handle the problem of what to do when a recall results in a lack of a quorum in a municipality. The bill would allow the town clerk to call an election. 

The original bill also looked to limit replacement candidates in a recall to people who are in the same political party. This is apparently seen as a way of heading off gun control recalls like in 2013 that took out Senate President John Morse and Senator Angela Giron. Colorado already has a provision like this if the official resigns in the face of a recall. Idaho has a similar law for state officials. It seems that the provision was dropped.
