Colorado's Redistricting Push Promises Major House Seat Shifts to Democrats

A new Colorado measure from Coloradans for a Level Playing Field would temporarily override the independent redistricting commission to adopt a 2028–2030 congressional map, likely boosting Democrats from four to seven of eight seats by moving districts 3, 5 and 8 into Democratic control, while trading some districts' protections. The plan requires a constitutional amendment—about 125,000 signatures and possibly $2 million in signature-gathering costs—and would face a 55% voter threshold for passage. It signals a broader national fight over redistricting as Democrats vow to push maps favorable to their side.
