Maurice Emmer is a retired tax attorney with 37 years of legal practice who has turned his attention to constitutional law, election law, and First Amendment rights. Based in Aspen, Colorado, he has been active in Colorado Republican Party politics for over 12 years.
Following the 2020 election, Emmer became deeply involved in election integrity issues. He has analyzed Colorado voting systems and their compliance with statutory standards, examining technical reports and legal requirements governing electronic voting equipment. His legal analysis has addressed the consolidation of power in the Secretary of State's office and the constitutional implications of election administration changes.
Emmer has been involved in legal challenges to Colorado's election system, including a lawsuit challenging the state's open primary system. His arguments have centered on free association rights under the First Amendment, drawing on Supreme Court precedent regarding political party rights to determine their own membership and nomination processes.
He appears on the Kim Monson Show to provide legal analysis of election-related legislation, constitutional challenges, and First Amendment issues in Colorado.
