Reapportionment Commission wrangles over districts
Colorado voters lined up for nearly three hours on Monday to testify about the state reapportionment process, asking the commission charged with redrawing legislative district lines to focus less on competitive districts, and more on keeping communities of interest together.
Republicans and Democrats on the state’s Reapportionment Commission wrangled over house districts, especially in Fort Collins, proposing maps that aim to protect their political base while attempting to adhere to court decisions that require lawmakers to keep counties intact.
The most significant vote taken on Monday by the 11-member bipartisan commission led to the adoption of a proposal by Democrats that would expand the two-district Fort Collins area to include two additional house districts.
The commission approved the proposal by a vote of 6-5, with all Republican members opposing it. Unaffiliated Chairman Mario Carrera, of Parker joined Democrats in supporting it.
The plan calls for two additional house districts for Fort Collins, spreading out to Republican-held House Districts 49 and 51, currently represented by B.J. Nikkel, R-Loveland, and Rep. Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, respectively.
Windsor would also be divided into three districts, including House District 48, held by Rep. Glenn Vaad, R-Mead, in addition to House Districts 49 and 51 Democrats believe they have drafted a fair, competitive map, while Republicans call the proposal “sloppy” and “unconstitutional,” noting municipal splits that Republicans believe to be “unnecessary.”
“That was just really sloppy work by whoever drew the plan, but I think that’s clearly unconstitutional,” said Republican Commissioner Steve Tool, a former state representative of Fort Collins who now lives in Windsor. “Those are municipal splits that are totally unnecessary and not needed.”
Front Range asks to maintain communities of interest
The commission on Monday also took testimony from Denver-area and Front Range residents who want to avoid the controversy facing Fort Collins by keeping communities of interest together, especially those including the Hispanic population in the area. They are expected to offer their proposals on Monday when the reapportionment commission next meets.
“Our communities of interest within the Latino community need more representation, not less,” said Amber Tafoya, executive director of the Denver-based Latina Initiative. “We are often fractionalized in this process; we are often split up… we are asking you not to do that,” she told commission members.
