Colorado 2020 U.S. House Redistricting Discussion

Now that the GOP has nominated yet another batsh**t crazy woman in CO-03, here's my take on what a Dem gerrymander of the state would look like. Obviously there is the commission, but this is a hypothetical if Dems could go for broke.



CO-01: Denver, Sheridan, Centennial - Clinton 52-40, Bennet 53-42, D+3
CO-02: Boulder, Greeley - Clinton 52-39, Bennet 53-41, D+6
CO-03: Western Slope/Ski Country - Trump 50-42, Glenn 49-44, R+5
CO-04: Fort Collins, Longmont, and Eastern Plains - Trump 48-43, Glenn 48-46, R+3
CO-05: Colorado Springs - Trump 56-34, Glenn 58-36, R+13
CO-06: Aurora, Parker, Castle Rock - Clinton 47-44, Bennet 49-46, D+0
CO-07: Denver, Thornton - Clinton 69-23, Bennet 70-24, D+23
CO-08: Arvada, Golden, Pueblo, Clinton 46-45, Bennet 50-45, D+0

Incumbent wise:
1: new D seat
2: Neguse
3: DMB
4: Buck
5: Lamborn
6: Crow
7: DeGette
8: Perlmutter

Buck would be in significant danger of losing the 4th now, and the 3rd moves a few points left. This could easily become a 7-1 D map.

And CO isn't required to do so. Whites in Colorado aren't uniformly opposed to electing a Hispanic candidate, so it would just be pure packing of minorities to dilute Democratic voting strength to create a Hispanic VRA seat there.
