The Colorado Supreme Court invalidates two ballot measures that would have authorized mid‑decade redistricting and new congressional maps for the next two election cycles.Justice Richard Gabriel writes for a unanimous court that the proposals combine distinct subjects and therefore violate the Colorado Constitution's single‑subject rule; Chief Justice Monica Marquez said the measures improperly interlock authorization and map adoption.The measures from
Level Playing Field sought maps likely to add three
US House seats favoring Democrats, a push that follows last year's mid‑decade effort by
Donald Trump and the
US Supreme Court's rollback of parts of the
Voting Rights Act.
