Tangent for the Colorado contingent…
An eighth House seat and a shiny new redistricting commission. Predictions seem to be in order. Bottom line, this is the redistricting where the rural split from the urban corridor gets almost complete. Details: (a) the population target for each district is just about 740,000 people; (b) you can fuss about exactly where to draw the lines, but metro Denver will be almost exactly 3.0M, so four districts; (c) El Paso County (Colorado Springs for non-Coloradans) will be 700,000, so it and a bit of neighboring area will be a district; (d) at the other end of the urban corridor, Larimer and Weld Counties plus the Longmont corner of Boulder County are almost exactly 750,000, so a district; and (e) the Great Rural Wraparound (including Pueblo and Grand Junction) area is split in two wherever the population numbers work out.Report
