Colorado Politics told you last month about a bipartisan group that hopes to move the power to draw legislative districts a little farther away from partisan interests to a independent commission.

Thursday Fair Districts Colorado the language for three proposals with the Office of Legislative Council after it says it conducted a statewide listening tour.

“Like we’ve always said, we’re open to constructive comments that give the redistricting processes back to the voters,” former State Rep. Kathleen Curry said in a statement. “We’re grateful for the input from dozens of individuals and groups across the state in recent weeks.

“We will reform redistricting so that the power is with the people and not corrupt political power brokers. All we ask is that people check their partisan credentials at the door to find the fairest process for Colorado communities.”

Curry dropped out of the Democratic Party in 2009 when she served in the legislature to become and independent, and lost re-election. She is one of the advisers to the Centrist Project, which is trying to elected independent candidates to statehouse to weaken partisanship there.

Just this month the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments about alleged gerrymandering by Republicans in Wisconsin.

Fair Districts noted Colorado’s history of contentious fights over redistricting every 10 years after a census. The boundaries are supposed to be drawn to account for shifts in population, but the majority party in the legislature often draws lines that favor its candidates based on the voting history of some neighborhoods versus others.

“The redistricting process in Colorado is broken,” former deputy secretary of state Bill Hobbs said. “The partisans who currently draw maps have a huge conflict of interest. Instead of drawing competitive districts and trying to keep communities whole, they are primarily motivated by a single goal: maximizing the number of districts their party wins.

“Partisan political power should not be the underlying motive of map-drawers. These measures will help end gerrymandering by placing the process for drawing maps into a balanced, independent commission that utilizes nonpartisan staff to draw maps using neutral, fair criteria, operating transparently.”

This marks the third attend in four years to move Colorado to a bipartisan appointed 12-member commission balanced between Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated or minor-party members.

The League of Women Voters of Colorado has been one of the prime supporters of the measure.

To get on the ballot, proponents will have to collect signatures from 98,492 registered voters in the next six months to get each question on the ballot, including at least 2,300 from each of the 35 Senate districts.
