Colorado Supreme Court Blocks Democrats' Redistricting Ballot Initiatives
ABC News — Politics—The Colorado Supreme Court rejected Democratic-led ballot initiatives that would have placed congressional redistricting before voters this November, dealing a significant blow to the party's effort to redraw the state's congressional map. The court's decision prevents Colorado voters from deciding whether to change district boundaries in a way that critics said would have favored Democrats. The ruling sent any redistricting efforts back to the drawing board. The decision surprised some observers given Colorado's political lean.
