Colorado proposing a new electoral map that could oust Lauren Boebert

Lauren Boebert could lose her seat in the House of Representative as a new proposed Colorado district map moves the congresswoman's home into a more liberal district currently represented by Democratic Representative Joe Neguse.

The nonpartisan Colorado Independent Redistricting Commissions released its first map outlining the new congressional districts based on the 2020 Census Bureau data. It previously released a sketch in June based off population estimates.

The new map would lump in the entire northern part of the current 3rd district, represented by Boebert, into Neguse's 2nd district. Not only would this move a huge group of Boebert's constituents into a blue district, it would also mean Boebert's home is now located in the 2nd district.

The Constitution only requires House members to live in the state they represent, not the exact district, so Boebert could decide to run again in the 3rd District.
