Colorado Supreme Court upholds Democrats' congress map
DENVER — The Colorado Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling siding with Democratic-drawn congressional maps that give them a chance to unseat Republican Mike Coffman.
The court ruled Monday and said a written opinion would come later. The ruling upholding Denver District Judge Robert Hyatt's decision changes Coffman's district by moving Republican leaning portions of Douglas County into the Eastern Plains seat held by Republican Rep. Corey Gardner.
