Colorado Supreme Court rejects ballot initiatives for mid-decade redistricting.
The Colorado Supreme Court unanimously struck down five ballot initiatives that would have allowed redrawing congressional districts before the 2030 census. The court ruled the measures violated the state constitution's single-subject requirement for ballot initiatives. The initiatives, backed by both Democrats and Republicans, aimed to bypass the independent redistricting commission and create new maps for the 2028 and 2030 elections.
