The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday blocked the Democrats’ effort to redraw its congressional map.
The proposed map would have added three more Democrat seats in the US House of Representatives.
Colorado’s high court unanimously struck down two attempts at redistricting.
Colorado’s Congressional map will remain at 4D and 4R.
Politico reported:
Democrats just suffered a major setback in their plans to counter Republican redistricting gains before the 2028 elections.
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Monday that all five proposed redistricting ballot measures in the state — three led by Democrats and two led by Republicans — violated the state’s constitution, preventing either party from implementing new maps by undoing the independent commission that currently controls the process.
Colorado’s eight House seats are currently split evenly between both parties, and one of Democrats’ most ambitious redraw efforts would have created a map where seven of the districts favor the party.
