The Coloradoan reporter Kelly Lyell joined KUNC "Morning Edition" host Michael Lyle, Jr. to get more on the story.

The new boundaries appear to give Democrats an edge in next year’s elections to determine which party controls the legislative agenda at the Capitol.

Unlike the previous preliminary map, this one uses official population data from the 2020 census count instead of estimates. That, along with public comments from 36 meetings in July and August, has led to some major changes in the map’s proposed districts, particularly the new eighth district Colorado gained due to a population increase counted in the 2020 census.

The massive delay has caused a lot of unexpected problems for the state’s brand new independent redistricting commissions. This new set of local data show the ways Colorado’s population has really changed over the last decade.
