QUESTIONS:
1. Are New Mexico's statutes making it unlawful to publish or
print anonymous campaign literature (NMSA 1978, § 1-19-15 (Repl.
Pamp. 1995)) or to distribute anonymous campaign literature (NMSA
1978, § 1-19-17, Repl. Pamp. 1995) enforceable in light of the
United States Supreme Court's ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections
Commission, 115 S.Ct. 1511 (1995), finding a similar statute in
Ohio to be an unconstitutional infringement on First Amendment free
speech rights?
