Denver November 2004 Election
Don't forget to chat with Diana DeGette today on the Denver Post website. I was able to use the chat software on Mac and Linux during the chat a couple of months ago with Mayor Hickenlooper.
I think the Colorado congressional boundaries are set for next fall after Monday's ruling but the future of the decision is still a bit cloudy. Yesterday a Denver attorney, John Zakhem, filed another lawsuit in the redistricting case, according to the Rocky Mountain News [December 4, 2003, "New lawsuit keeps debate over congressional redistricting alive"]. From the article, "There is a case pending in federal court that was initially filed by Colorado Democrats, but they are expected to announce today that they will ask that their case be dismissed. If that should occur, Zakhem said the lawsuit he is filing would continue to keep the case alive. Republicans also are expected to appeal the Colorado Supreme Court ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. Zakhem said the case he's filing agrees with claims by Gov. Bill Owens, the GOP-dominated legislature and Secretary of State Donetta Davidson that lawmakers, not the courts, have the responsibility of redistricting."
Dani Newsum reviews the redistricting battle on d.note on the Denver Post website [December 1, 2003, "How (bitter)sweet it is"]. She was against the Republican moves last spring. Mike Keefe also shows his bias.
