That’s the map they gave Bartels.
then it doesn’t exist.
Think of, “tree falls in the forest.”
and describes it in detail. Does that mean it only partly exists?
The Reapportionement Commission only has two more scheduled meetings. One is on this coming Monday to discuss changes to the preliminarily approved HD and SD maps. These changes will be in response to the 25 public hearings they held around the state.
The Commission staff should have the new maps they will be discussing on the Reapportionment Website either this evening or tomorrow.
On Monday, Sept 19th, the Commission is scheduled to vote on a final plan which will be submitted to the Supreme Court for approval. The SC has until early Dec. to make objections or send it on to the SoS as THE map.
This, of course, is barring any court cases challenging the final map. A lack of challenges would be pretty miraculous, be we could always hope.
understand it, at least out in the hinterlands where I roam. I provided the Commission with a new proposal for the Senate District in my area, because their proposed map is wrong, wrong, wrong for my county. No one else from my county testified at the hearing held in my county – no one. Even our legislators didn’t speak up, including the one who will lose my county under the Commission-proposed plan (I guess that means the incumbent doesn’t care about losing my county). I sent my plan to newspapers in the counties that would be in my proposed District – heard from almost none of them, except the small town reporter who used me to explain the reapportionment process — after she had already covered the public hearing in her community.
In the metro area there was very liely and packed public hearings. I went to the ones in Golden and Denver and both were heavily attended. Denver less so, I think more due to parking turning people off from going to the capitol.
And at both meetings there was a unified voice on the local issues of concern. In Jeffco is was unnecassilarily inclduing a portion of Adams in one of the Senate Districts. In Denver, is was the dividing up of neighborhoods by the house districts.
I have created a Denver HD map which makes relatively small changes to the proposed map, but reunites as many neighborhoods as possible. I have been working on this with one of the commissioners and I hope it is among the that are introduced for discussion on Monday.
not to mention Coffman’s more recent on-air nonsense about illegal immigrants being “rushed through” the citizenship process.”
I’m guessing Coffman figures what worked for Tanc all those years will work just as well for him and isn’t anticipating any major ethnic changes to CD6. Of course this is short sighted of almost all pols in our region as ethnic changes are coming, if not tomorrow, soon enough.
Why such desperation in a district that, at worst, will go from safe R to more competitive, to appeal to the lowest common denominator base under the changing demographic circumstances that prevail in the US in general and even more here in Colorado? Rs, all kinds, win easily here. Tancredo kept winning, not because he’s so extreme but because he’s an R. This isn’t Colorado Springs. We have plenty of moderate Rs and indies leaning that way.
Without seeing all the specifics of the Latino map, if it makes Coffman sweat, it can’t be all bad.
Rubio.
Seriously, if you think “the Latino map” makes Coffman sweat even a drop, you’re dreaming. These maps are meaningless except to give the groups submitting them a little attention.
but one day soon all the hate mongering Rs in the west will have good reason to sweat. As for Florida Cubans and western Latinos?…
that a growing Latino population statewide will be seen as a threat to “American” jobs and turn out conservative and frightened white voters if the economy is still in the doldrums in 2014. This isn’t about his congressional district, it’s about positioning himself as the true standard-bearer for the Senate race against Udall, and firing up the angry white vote is part of that strategy.
Grumpy old bigots will be dying off while more Latino citizens who have just as much right as Americans to jobs as anyone else will be voting and will not be giving the bigots credit they don’t deserve for just being anti-illegal Latino. We’ve recently elected three Democratic Senators including one named Salazar so this isn’t the kind of far right state where being the farthest rightie is what you need to do to win statewide elections. My theory? Coffman isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.
