Comment:

Commissioners Hunter Barnett and Aislinn Kottwitz are trying to pull a fast one. The alternate maps suggested by these two are at odds to the the maps submitted to the commission as a whole by the non partisan staff. Consideration of these maps violates the letter and spirit of Amendments Y and Z. Carl Erickson

Please don’t give in to the republicans and their gerrymandered redistricting plan. The non partisan plan is the right thing to do.

We must have fair and balanced (actual not gaslighting and lies) redistricting. Please reject maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz and support maps drawn by nonpartisan staff.

No way do we want the Republicans to try and change something done by a bipartisan group.

I can only hope that the Judicial Branch of the Colorado Court will see through this illigeal addition

Here we go again. GQP operatives trying to gerrymander the Colorado districts to put their thumb on the scale of free and fair elections. I URGE the committee to reject these right-wing clowns in the efforts to rig the elections for the next 10 years.

Please ensure that the redistricting process represents the interests of all citizens of Colorado and is not structured in such a way to grant disproportional influence to any group. It is widely reported that there are undisclosed and unregistered lobbyists attempting to influence the process in order to undermine the will and interests of the majority of the people. Please dismiss these attempts. The very foundation of this country was based on the idea of self governance. When any minority group is able to undermine the will of the majority, We the People, suffer.

I support redistricting maps created by the full, independent/non-partisan redistricting commission. However, I do not support attempts by commissioners Barnett & Kottwitz to gerrymander these maps in favor of the GOP. Commissioners Barnett & Kottwitz apparently have a lot of gall, to make such an obvious attempt at voter suppression.

Please reject any maps that could be tarnished by the ongoing, unreported lobbying to gerrymander legislative districts for the GOP. Keep transparency and equity in the system.

I ask that you reject any maps that could be tarnished by the ongoing, unreported lobbying to gerrymander legislative districts for the GOP. Please reject maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz and support maps drawn by nonpartisan staff. I would also have much preferred to have my House District 9B remain within Denver instead of being "shotgun married" to areas of Arapahoe County with which my area has very little in common. But that concern is overshadowed by the 11th hour gerrymandering attempt by Comms. Barnett and Kottiwtz. Let's keep this process nonpartisan.
