Weld judge: County commissioners' redistricting failed to comply with Colorado law

Weld County commissioner district lines will need to be redrawn after a Weld district judge ruled that the board of commissioners failed to comply with a state law against gerrymandering when redistricting early last year.

Judge Todd Taylor prohibited the district map adopted March 1 from being used in any upcoming elections and ordered the board to begin a redistricting process, according to the order handed down Friday.

In the lawsuit filed Oct. 23, the plaintiffs — the League of Women Voters of Greeley and Weld County, along with the Latino Coalition of Weld County and two Weld County residents — alleged the commissioners acted in violation of state House Bill 21-1047 by not providing proper public notice of hearings on the redistricting process and by improperly drawing a map that divided a community of interest.

In Weld County it's been roughly thirty years since any non-republican sat on the board of commissioners. That needs to change. It won't be easy, but this helps to make that change a bit more possible.
