However, Democrats had their majority reduced to one seat after the 2013 Colorado recall election, where Senator Angela Giron and Senate President John Morse were successfully recalled and replaced by Republicans.2013-09-21 The Pueblo Chieftain UPDATED: Giron concedes, joins Morse in recall... http://www.chieftain.com/home/1831735-120/pueblo-recall-chieftain-com 2022-08-09 archive.ph September 23, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150923202854/http://www.chieftain.com/home/1831735-120/pueblo-recall-chieftain-com dead Because of this, Republicans only needed a net gain of one seat in order to claim control of the chamber.
