In an action by political committees challenging New Mexico's ability to regulate plaintiffs pursuant to the New Mexico Campaign Reporting Act (NMCRA), summary judgment for plaintiffs is affirmed where the organizations could not be constitutionally said to have a primary purpose of influencing elections -- as measured by either a comprehensive examination of their activities or by their satisfaction of the $500 threshold -- such that they could be subject to the full range of disclosure and report provisions.
