A recent decision by the Colorado Supreme Court has rejected a redistricting plan that aimed to alter the state's congressional maps. This plan had sought to benefit Democrats, including those on the Western Slope.

The court's unanimous decision was made on Monday, June 29, regarding a package of ballot initiatives. A group called Coloradans for a Level Playing Field had been involved in the redistricting effort.

Further details about the decision and its implications are available from the Steamboat Pilot.
