Colorado Supreme Court rejects ballot initiatives for mid-decade congressional redistricting.
The Colorado Supreme Court unanimously struck down proposed ballot initiatives that would have authorized new congressional district maps for the 2028 and 2030 elections. The court ruled the measures violated the state constitution's single-subject requirement for citizen initiatives. Both Democratic-backed and identical Republican-backed initiatives were invalidated.
