Should your state constitution require stricter voter approval and judicial review for redrawing congressional maps?

In August 2026, the American Revival PAC provided a $250,000 donation to the Fair Redistricting Colorado committee. The group is currently working to secure passage of Amendment 86 on the November 2026 ballot.

Why it matters

Amendment 86 aims to regulate how congressional maps are redrawn outside of the standard 10-year cycle. The measure serves as a counter-effort to a Democratic proposal that sought to redraw districts for future election cycles.

Amendment 86 requires 55% voter approval to pass during the November 2026 election. The measure is one of 13 total measures appearing on the statewide ballot.

The players

American Revival PAC

This political action committee was established in 2017 and recently contributed to Colorado ballot efforts.

Fair Redistricting Colorado

This committee is the primary organization campaigning for the passage of Amendment 86.

Advance Colorado

This organization is a known donor to the Fair Redistricting Colorado committee.

Mike Johnson

He is the founder of the American Revival PAC who currently serves as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The details

The proposed amendment requires the Independent Redistricting Commission to hold public hearings if maps are altered mid-decade and mandates Colorado Supreme Court approval for such changes. This follows a June 2026 ruling by the state Supreme Court that blocked a separate Democratic redistricting initiative for violating single-subject requirements.

The American Revival PAC was established by Mike Johnson in 2017.
The last decennial redistricting process was completed in 2021.
The Colorado Supreme Court blocked a Democratic measure in June 2026.
The American Revival PAC donated funds in August 2026.
Colorado voters will decide on Amendment 86 in November 2026.

Political Context

Opponents of the amendment argue that it unnecessarily limits the ability of the state to react to legal shifts in congressional representation. This creates a divide between those seeking to institutionalize the current map and those favoring legislative flexibility for future cycles.

The passage of Amendment 86 would impact how voters experience congressional representation by requiring judicial oversight for mid-decade map changes. Voters will need to evaluate whether they support requiring 55% approval for the measure to become law in November.

The takeaway

Voters should review the specific requirements of Amendment 86 to understand how it alters the process of map redrawing in the state. Tracking major ballot measures is essential for understanding the future of congressional representation in Colorado.
