Colorado state Rep. Steve Lebsock was expelled from the House in a 52 9 vote Friday, following allegations of sexual misconduct by five women, KDVR reports.
The effort, led by Democrats, was successful in barring Lebsock from his position.
At the last minute, Lebsock changed his party affiliation to Republican
Colorado law says a vacancy will be filled by a person in the same political party. That means Lebsocks party change gives his seat to Republicans, despite the fact he was a Democrat until Friday.
