McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission
''McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission'', 514 U.S. 334 (1995), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that an Ohio statute that prohibits anonymous political or campaign literature is unconstitutional. Writing for the Court, Justice Stevens asserted that such action is protected by the First Amendment, and therefore violated the constitutional principle of freedom of speech. Justice Scalia dissented, in an opinion which Chief Justice Rehnquist joined. Justice Ginsburg wrote a concurrence, while Justice Thomas wrote an opinion concurring in the judgment.
== Background ==
Margaret McIntyre, a taxpayer, passed out pamphlets that opposed a proposed school tax. The Ohio Elections Commission found her guilty of violating Ohio Code § 3599.09(A), which forbade "the distribution of campaign literature that does not contain the name and address of the person or campaign official issuing the literature."〔(Full text of the opinion courtesy of Findlaw.com )〕 The Board fined her.〔
McIntyre appealed to the Court of Common Pleas, which reversed. The Ohio Court of Appeals reversed that court, putting back the fine. The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the appellate court. She petitioned to the Supreme Court of the United States, which granted ''writ of certiorari''. Extensive ''amici'' briefs were filed in the case. In the meanwhile, the plaintiff had died, but her executor continued the litigation.〔
