B<\/span><span>efore the Centennial State can adopt any such redrawn congressional map, however, voters must approve two ballot measures, the outlet reported. <strong>(RELATED: Who Really Won The Midterms\u2019 Gerrymandering War? The Answer May Come Down To A Few Races)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>One of the new ballot initiatives would green-light mid-decade redistricting in Colorado. The second would allow the state to use a temporary, partisan congressional map for the 2028 and 2030 elections, circumventing the independent redistricting commission until new maps are unveiled after the next census, according to the outlet. <\/span><span>The two ballot measures reached the Colorado Supreme Court after Republicans filed a lawsuit in an effort to block them. Both parties are still waiting on the court\u2019s decision over 50 days later, the outlet reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe delay creates uncertainty amongst petition signers, volunteers and supporters about the viability of the measure, and further erodes the fundamental right to the initiative power,\u201d backers of the redistricting effort claimed in a Tuesday court filing aiming to speed up the court\u2019s decision, The New York Times reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Scott Gessler, a lawyer for the Republicans opposing the redistricting measures, told the outlet in an email that he did not believe the court\u2019s timing was particularly unusual, especially if it plans to issue a written opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThat takes much longer,\u201d Gessler told the outlet. \u201cI think the timeline clearly shows that the court will issue a written opinion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Curtis Hubbard, a spokesman for Coloradans for a Level Playing Field, which is backing the gerrymandering push, told the outlet that the Colorado <\/span><span>Supreme Court\u2019s \u201cfoot-dragging risks stripping voters of their chance to weigh in on the most important issues in this election.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf the court can effectively run out the clock on citizen initiatives, it casts a dark cloud over the entire process,\u201d Hubbard continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=2485\">British TikTok Influencer\u2019s Dubai Romance Ends In Murder Charge, Possible Execution<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/p>\n<p><span>While the Colorado Supreme Court is nonpartisan, each of its current seven members were appointed by Democratic governors, the outlet notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Both of the ballot measures need about 125,000 signatures from registered voters in the state, and the final deadline for signatures to make it on the November ballot is Aug. 3, according to the outlet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBy tying the two initiatives together through use of the effective date clauses, the proponents are connecting two separate subjects, in violation of the single-subject requirement,\u201d Gessler stated. \u201cThis is effectively a way to avoid the single-subject requirement by forcing voters to accept or reject both initiatives as a package deal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Colorado Democrats\u2019 ongoing redistricting push comes after California<span> voters\u00a0<\/span><span>approved<\/span><span> Proposition 50 in November 2025 in response to Texas <\/span><span>redrawing<\/span><span> its congressional districts to create more Republican seats. Prop 50 in part \u201cproposes new lines for many of California\u2019s 52 congressional districts, which would negate the five Republican seats drawn by Texas,\u201d according to the state\u2019s Democratic Party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cRepublicans have demonstrated that their mid-decade gerrymanders will not end after the 2026 midterms, and in the face of that continued threat, Colorado is taking a responsible step by asking the voters to weigh in on the state\u2019s temporary response,\u201d National Democratic Redistricting Committee Chairman Eric H. Holder, Jr. said in a February statement. \u201cLet\u2019s be clear: Colorado did not choose this fight. As Republicans pursue mid-decade gerrymanders in other states, the American people, including Coloradans, will fight back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
