Comment:

Reject the gerrymandered maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz. These two do not represent the majority of Colorado voters. They should not be allowed to rig elections long ter4m to unfairly disallow the true majority voice. Our communities are interested in fair and free election representing the voter interests. Stop the political gerrymandering these two republicans plans represent.

I am a concerned the redistricting process may not be fair. I urge you to reject the gerrymandered maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz. I am also concerned with the new District 8, that competitiveness came almost exclusively at the expense of Democrats. I hope you will consider the make-up of the state has changed over the past years to be more blue - the competitiveness of congressional districts should reflect that change in demographics.

Please accept the nonpartisan redistricting Committee's final set of legislative maps and reject the obviously gerrymandered maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz, as they are working with non-disclosing and unregistered GOP operatives to shove through last-minute maps that would almost certainly ensure Colorado Republican control over the next decade. Thank you.

I have no map but am very concerned about the behind-the-back way this is being done. With the last administration, I have learned not to trust anything that the Republicans want. I want no change to the current districts are defined.

Please do not allow the gerrymandered maps being proposed by Commissioners Kottwitz and Barnett. Your bipartisan work has been done well and doesn't need to be altered by partisan agendas.

Redistricting Committee: you need to reject the gerrymandered maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz. This process is intended to determine fair and accurate political representation for our state for the next decade. It cannot be manipulated by political hacks. This is the very behavior we sought to correct when we voted to have your committee established in the first place. Please adhere to the rules of transparency that have been set for you.

Comment:

It is imperative the the redistricting be non-partisan to be legitimate. Any deviation will be obvious that the commission was partisan in it's work, which is unethical.

Republican Commissioners are attempting to Gerrymander the State Senate and House. Reject maps being published by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz and support maps drawn by nonpartisan staff. This is their attempt for Republican control of districts. Thank You. Arlene & Norm Kramer
