Democrats Express Concern Over Colorado Supreme Court Timeline in Redistricting Case
- Democrats in Colorado are pushing two ballot measures for the 2028 elections that would allow mid-decade redistricting and the use of a temporary partisan map to create up to three new Democratic-favoring congressional districts.
- Republicans have filed a lawsuit to block these ballot measures, and more than 50 days later, the Colorado Supreme Court has not yet ruled on their validity, causing uncertainty among supporters.
- Both ballot measures require approximately 125,000 voter signatures by August 3 to appear on the November 2028 ballot.
- The Colorado Supreme Court members were all appointed by Democratic governors, and the court's delay is considered by supporters to risk voters losing the chance to weigh in, while opponents see the timing as normal for issuing a written opinion.
