Colorado’s political future, at least for the next 10 years, might be decided by three retired judges in the coming days. This panel of retired judges is overseeing the appointment of the 12 members to the Legislative Redistricting Commission. It’s an unenviable job. By picking dedicated, fair-minded citizens, Colorado will become the envy of redistricting reforms across the nation. Skew the appointments toward one party or the other, and Colorado’s reform efforts will be viewed as a failure. The first six members — two Democrats, two Republicans, and two unaffiliated — have been chosen. The judicial panel seems to have done an excellent job selecting intelligent, articulate, fair-minded applicants. In the coming days, the judges will select the final six members, again two from each party affiliation.
