Protecting Fair Redistricting in Weld County
LWV of Greeley-Weld County and the Latino Coalition of Weld County filed a state court lawsuit asserting the Weld County Commission violated state law and procedural due process after it disobeyed the requirements of HB 21-1047. The bill, signed into law in 2021, mandates public hearings, redistricting commissions, and redistricting criteria, including the preservation of communities of interest when redrawing county commissioner districts.
