Colorado Democrats Mobilize for Congressional Redistricting Amid National Fight

In a strategic move, Colorado Democrats are pushing to reshape the congressional map in a bid to gain an electoral advantage. A newly formed group is actively pursuing a ballot measure aimed at creating a new congressional map that could counter the redistricting efforts backed by Trump and the Republican party. This initiative follows a national trend where ballot measures are being introduced to target GOP-held districts. Under the proposed redistricting plan, Democrats could potentially flip three congressional seats, favoring them with a 7-1 majority. Former Attorney General Eric Holder has expressed support for the Colorado initiative to combat mid-decade gerrymanders, highlighting the urgency of the situation as Colorado prepares to enter the redistricting battle.
