Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does Alaska's donor disclosure requirements violate the First Amendment?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Does Alaska’s requirement that individual donors file duplicative reports of their political contributions within 24 hours of making them—on pain of thousands of dollars in fines—violate the First Amendment? 2. Do Alaska’s extensive on-ad _ disclosure requirements, which monopolize a majority of a given advertisement with government-mandated messages including the public naming of individual donors, violate the First Amendment?
