On Friday, August 24, 2012, Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler petitioned the Colorado Supreme Court to modify the boundaries between several State House districts and State Senate districts “in order to rectify a number of minor discrepancies between maps generated by the Colorado Reapportionment Commission and maps and GIS data utilized by various Colorado counties.” According to the Secretary of State, “these discrepancies have resulted in residential parcels that are split between districts, and in some cases include district boundary lines that are inconsistent with settled political boundary lines.”
In response, the Colorado Supreme Court has ordered that the parties and any interested member of the public file support or opposition briefs by August 31, 2012.
