Dear Commission, Please reject maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz. Please support maps being drawn by nonpartisan staff. Thank you for your attention to this. Best regards, Susan Florreich

Dear Colorado Legislative Redistricting Commission Members: I am aware that Commissioners Hunter Barnett and Aislinn Kottwitz are attempting to push through maps tarnished by ongoing, unreported lobbying. Their goal is to unfairly gerrymander the Colorado Senate and House for the GOP. I urge you to reject these maps! Gerrymandering is very destructive to our democracy. Please take a stand on transparency and support maps drawn by the nonpartisan staff. I have worked hard in a number of elections to get candidates I support elected. I am happy to do this. But we must keep a fair and level playing field. Gerrymandering rigs elections. Please don't let this happen in our state.

Any action taken with districts and the maps should be done by a nonpartisan group. This is an obvious attempt by Republicans to take back Colorado. Let the people decide…and put a stop to all this manipulation!

I ask that you reject the maps being pushed by the highly partisan Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz and support maps drawn by nonpartisan staff. There was bound to be some partisan maneuvering attempted here but this goes beyond the pale. We are relying on you as a group to discourage this type of last minute end-a-round, and ultimately present a fair legislative map to the public, a map we can all feel confident was the result of a logical, reasoned process.

I implore that the Commission REJECT any map submitted by Commissioners BARNETT and KOTTWITZ. These are gerrymandered maps that DO NOT represent the best interest for all voters in Colorado. Please support only maps drawn by the nonpartisan staff. Thank you.

This is in reference to the legislative maps being proposed by commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz. I am asking that the maps being proposed by commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz be rejected. The purpose of establishing these redistricting commissions was to take gerrymandering out of the process, so that neither side had an unfair advantage in the redistricting process, and the districts would be drawn in a manner that best reflects the state electorate. These two commissioners are coordinating with shadowy Republicans operatives in order to use this process as a Republican power grab. Accepting these maps, even considering these maps defeats the purpose of Amendments Y and Z. Reject these maps!!!!

Please take a stand for transparency by rejecting any maps that could be tarnished by the ongoing, unreported lobbying to gerrymander legislative districts for the GOP.

Redistricting must be performed through a non-partisan process, as the State of Colorado mandates. Any efforts to circumvent the process by partisan skullduggery, intrigue or lobbying is wholly unacceptable and contrary to the laws of the State. Please ensure the process is fair and transparent!

You all need to reject maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz and support maps drawn by nonpartisan staff. This is a total misuse of this power concerning redistricting. When do politicians start working for all people not just Republicans….dishonesty and disingenuousness are running rampant! Please stop this from happening!

Hello I'm Doris and I've been living in JeffCo for about 5 years now. I don't like the 3rd staff map. I think the one that CLLARO made looks a lot better. Seems more fair to me.
