So gerrymander is a term that hasn't had a precise definition. Sure. The closest you can say is are you getting an extreme partisan advantage? And what I would say about Colorado right now, We are the opposite of a gerrymandering state. The Democratic majority with 4, 4 in Congress looks like we're... bending over backwards to be super fair. And even if we go reasonable, it's going to be more of a blue state. The question that you're pushing is how far do we go? And I agree with your point. (16:59–17:13)

CLAIM

Asserts that Colorado is not a gerrymandering state and is fair in its congressional representation.
