新罕布什尔州检察长叫停匿名参议院竞选邮寄品：印刷商与委托方同收停止令
新罕布什尔州州府 Concord 位于 Merrimack 县。州检察长 John M. Formella 办公室10月30日宣布，其选举法部门已就一批匿名政治邮寄品发出停止令（cease and desist），指这些邮寄品未按州法标明出资与责任主体，涉嫌违反州政治广告法律（RSA 664）。
检察长办公室称，调查源于 Concord 居民 Volodymyr Umanskyy 的投诉。涉事邮寄品中有针对共和党联邦参议院候选人 John Sununu 的内容，涉及其在超级智能与科技公司议题上的立场；另一封为宪法党候选人 Edmond Laplante 背书，声称他「投票支持」设立 Charlie Kirk 纪念日——检察长办公室指出，Laplante 从未担任过公职、无从投票。其中一封邮寄品署名的「保护新罕布什尔家庭委员会」经查并非在新罕布什尔州登记的政治委员会，其印制的州外邮政信箱地址亦与登记信息不符。
检察长办公室查明，邮寄品由位于马萨诸塞州的印刷公司 Journeyman Press 印制寄出、由位于华盛顿特区的直邮公司 Pinpoint Campaigns 委托制作，两家公司均已收到停止令。Journeyman Press 向检察长办公室表示，不会再向新罕布什尔州选民寄送同类邮寄品。检察长办公室另就 Suncook Valley 共和党组织分发的一封未逐项标明出资声明的邮寄品单独发出停止令。
检察长办公室已联系 Sununu、Laplante 以及民主党候选人、国会议员 Chris Pappas 的竞选团队和州共和党、民主党组织，各方均表示事先不知情、也未与两家公司就匿名邮寄品有任何协调。案件由检察长办公室选举法部门继续调查。检察长办公室表示，在11月3日大选投票前公布此事，是为了让选民更清楚地了解所收到邮寄品的来源。
New Hampshire Attorney General Halts Anonymous Senate Mailers With Cease-and-Desist Orders
The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office announced on October 30 that its Election Law Unit has issued cease-and-desist orders over anonymous political mailers that lack the sponsorship disclosures required by state political advertising law (RSA 664). Concord, the state capital, is in Merrimack County.
The investigation began with a complaint from Concord resident Volodymyr Umanskyy. The mailers include pieces targeting Republican U.S. Senate candidate John Sununu over his positions on superintelligence and technology companies, and a piece endorsing Constitution Party candidate Edmond Laplante that claims he "voted for" a Charlie Kirk Day — the Attorney General's Office notes Laplante has never held office and could not have cast such a vote. A committee named on one mailer, the Committee to Protect NH Families, is not a political committee registered in New Hampshire, according to the office.
The office determined the mailers were produced and mailed by Journeyman Press, a Massachusetts printing company, and commissioned by Pinpoint Campaigns, a Washington, D.C. direct-mail firm; both companies received cease-and-desist orders. Journeyman Press told the office no more such mailers are scheduled to be sent to New Hampshire voters. The office also issued a separate order over a Suncook Valley GOP mailer that lacked required per-advertisement disclaimers.
The Attorney General's Office contacted the campaigns of Sununu, Laplante and Democratic candidate Rep. Chris Pappas, as well as the state Republican and Democratic parties; all said they had no prior knowledge of, or coordination with, the two companies. The Election Law Unit's investigation is continuing ahead of the November 3 election.
