Colorado high court tosses redistricting ballot measures
The Colorado Supreme Court struck down two redistricting ballot measures that would have benefited Democrats, ruling that they violated the state constitution's requirement that ballot measures focus on a single subject. The decision prevents the Democratic-aligned redistricting proposals from appearing on the ballot.
Key Points
- Court found the measures violated Colorado's 'single subject' constitutional requirement for petition-based ballot measures
- The redistricting proposals were designed to favor Democratic candidates in House races
- The ruling blocks these measures from being presented to Colorado voters
