A Democratic-aligned group backed by former Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder filed ballot initiative paperwork on Feb. 18 in Colorado that would ask voters to temporarily override the state’s independent congressional redistricting commission and install a new map for 2028 and 2030 that could be advantageous for Democrats.
The group, Coloradans for a Level Playing Field, filed four versions of the ballot measure with Colorado state officials. The proposed map would give Democrats a competitive advantage in seven of the state’s eight congressional districts, a possible net gain of three seats from the current split of four Democratic seats and four Republican seats.
