Colorado Supreme Court Blocks Democrat Redistricting Push

redistricting — however temporary the change — is not merely a mechanism to administer the new congressional district map,” Chief Justice Monica Marquez wrote in one unanimous decision.

“Instead, it represents a seismic shift to Colorado’s longstanding redistricting process enshrined in the state constitution,” her opinion noted further.

In a second unanimous opinion, the Colorado Supreme Court concluded that dividing the original proposal into two separate ballot measures still failed to satisfy the state’s single-subject requirement.
