Proposed Congressional Maps

ATTENTION: Although the General Assembly introduced several congressional redistricting maps during the 2011 legislative session, none of the plans were enacted.  When the session ended, two lawsuits were filed in Denver District Court to decide the matter.  The cases were consolidated into one under the caption: Moreno et al. v. Gessler, Case No. 11CV3461; consolidated with Case No.: 11CV3463.  On November 10, 2011, the district court ruled in favor of the "Moreno/South" map.  The map is attached below.  The court order is available here: http://bit.ly/sbGInl
