IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO
No
DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF NEW MEXICO WILLIE MARQUEZ (REGISTERED VOTER) JONES RANE (REGISTERED VOTER)
SUPREME COURT OF NEW MEXICO FILED
Plaintiffs OCT 11 2012
v
DIANNA DURAN IN HER OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS
NEW MEXICO SECRETARY OF STATE
Defendant
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS AGAINST DIANNA DURAN NEW MEXICO SECRETARY OF STATE and PURSUANT TO NMSA SEC 44-2-4 and 1-10-9
I INTRODUCTION
This validated petition challenges the Secretary of States decision in
designing the 2012 ballot to prohibit the right of the Plaintiffs and other similarly
situated to vote for the full party ticket See verifications attached as Exhibit 6 It
also challenges her decision to attach party emblems to the Presidential and Vice
Presidential Candidates only the result of which causes voter confusion
As the 2012 sample ballot shows the defendant has misapplied the statute
requiring the placement of a straight ticket option on the general election ballot
Defendant Duran is without authority to omit this option or in the alternative has
no statutory or constitutional authority to place the party emblem next to the
Presidential Candidate only
II UNDISPUTED MATERIAL FACTS
1 As this Petitioner illustrates the facts are not in dispute Also not in
dispute is the fact that Mandamus is a proper remedy as the Petitioner is asking for
a proper reading of the law and not contesting a discretionary act by the Secretary
of State This Court simply needs to read the clear language of the New Mexico
statutes governing the placement of the party emblem on the ballot
2 Prior to this General Election and prior to this Secretary of State
voters in New Mexico were offered the opportunity to vote a party ticket This
opportunity is represented in Exhibit 1 attached
3 Upon information and belief the emblems provided by the Party have
ONL Y been used to designate a ticket with voting options as seen in the 2008 amp
2010 Sample Ballot provided in Exhibit 1
4 The sample ballot for the upcoming general election is attached as
Exhibit 2 and shows that the Secretary of State has erred in her non discretionary
2
duties by not including an option for straight party ticket andor by applying the
party logo next to the candidates running for the Office of President and nowhere
else
5 The Secretary of States intention to attach the party emblem to the
presidential ticket for the 2012 ballot was also made public knowledge only
recently The earliest this information was made available to the voters of
Bernalillo County was on or about September 28 2012 See email attached as
Exhibit 3 See also9 of Exhibit 4
6 PlaintiffRane became aware of the Secretary of States decision on or
about October 22012 after reviewing the sample ballot See Rane Affidavit at 9
7 In the past the Plaintiffs have chosen the option to vote for the party
ticker and will continue to choose to do so in the future This right has been
improperly withdrawn by the Secretary of State See Affidavits of Ranes and
Marquez attached as Exhibits 4amp5
8 By identifying the party emblem only with the candidates for Office
of the President the Secretary of State has caused and will cause voter confusion
See Marquez Affidavit attached as Exhibit 5

Officer Dianna Duran New Mexico Secretary of State to require her to perfonn a
nondiscretionary act and reverse her position outlined and allow a straight party

V CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY FOUNDATION FOR MANDAMUS ACTION
AMANDAMUS
This Courts authority to resolve this matter through Mandamus is well
settled and most squarely applied to its reasoning as stated in State ofNM ex reI
League of Woman Voters v Herrera 145 NM 563 566 203 P3d 94
97 (NM2009) In League of Women Voters the Court reasoned
6
We first consider the Leagues standing to bring an action in mandamus and whether mandamus is an appropriate remedy This Court in its discretion may grant private parties standing to vindicate the public interest in cases presenting issues of great public importance State ex rei Sego v Kirkpatrick 86 NM 359 363 524 P2d 975 979 (1974) Determining the validity of individual votes is of unquestionable importance Establishing clear rules prior to election day as to how such validity is to be established is of equal if not greater importance Therefore there can be little doubt that construing the statute governing the counting of hand-tallied ballots qualifies under the great public importance standard of the Sego line of cases
The New Mexico Constitution gives this Court the power to issue writs of mandamus against all state officers NM Const art VI sect 3 Mandamus is appropriate to compel state officers to perform a statutory duty State ex rei Clark v Johnson 120 NM 562569904 P2d 11 18 (1995) Here the Secretary is clearly a state officer within the meaning of the Constitution and it is clear that the Secretary must follow the Election Code and does not have the power to change its mandatory provisions Weldon v Sanders 99 NM 160 164-65655 P2d 1004 1008-09 (1982)

B The secretary of state shall determine in each election where applicable the position of the parties constitutional amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of the entire state
N M S A 1978 sect 1-10-3
VI ARGUMENT
A The Secretary is State is Obligated under 1-7-6 to Place Straight Party Option on 2012 Ballot
Throughout New Mexicos history voters have been provided the option to
vote for the full party ticket This right was fIrst removed by this Secretary State
only recently and without announcement This is contrary to the primacy of the
text of sect1-7-6 which states the certifIed party name and emblem shall thereafter
be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots The relevant
portions of this statute to be parsed are in bold The fIrst is that the statue is
mandatory not permissive as it uses the term shall not may See sect12-2A-4
Therefore the emblem must be used The next question is for what purpose The
Statute then requires that emblem shall designate the ticket and nothing else It is
not disputed that the only use of this emblem in the previous election was to
designate where a voter could vote for a particular ticket See UDMF 3 see also
Exhibit 1 (2008 and 2010 Ballot) Under the limited authority granted by the
legislature for ballot form and content the Secretary of State only has discretion to
determine the limited issues of the position of the parties constitutional
10
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS WAS FILED AND SERVED ON THE FOLLOWING PERSONS OR ENTITIES THIS 11TH DAY OF OCTOBER
The Honorable Dianna Duran New Mexico Secretary of State 325 Don Gaspar Avenue 300 Santa Fe NM 87501 505-827-3600
The Honorable Gary King New Mexico Attorney Generals Office 408 Galisteo Street Santa Fe NM 87501
D-cJ)David K Thomson
As the 2012 sample ballot shows the defendant has misapplied the statute
requiring the placement of a straight ticket option on the general election ballot
Defendant Duran is without authority to omit this option or in the alternative has
no statutory or constitutional authority to place the party emblem next to the
Presidential Candidate only
II UNDISPUTED MATERIAL FACTS
1 As this Petitioner illustrates the facts are not in dispute Also not in
dispute is the fact that Mandamus is a proper remedy as the Petitioner is asking for
a proper reading of the law and not contesting a discretionary act by the Secretary
of State This Court simply needs to read the clear language of the New Mexico
statutes governing the placement of the party emblem on the ballot
2 Prior to this General Election and prior to this Secretary of State
voters in New Mexico were offered the opportunity to vote a party ticket This
opportunity is represented in Exhibit 1 attached
3 Upon information and belief the emblems provided by the Party have
ONL Y been used to designate a ticket with voting options as seen in the 2008 amp
2010 Sample Ballot provided in Exhibit 1
4 The sample ballot for the upcoming general election is attached as
Exhibit 2 and shows that the Secretary of State has erred in her non discretionary
2
duties by not including an option for straight party ticket andor by applying the
party logo next to the candidates running for the Office of President and nowhere
else
5 The Secretary of States intention to attach the party emblem to the
presidential ticket for the 2012 ballot was also made public knowledge only
recently The earliest this information was made available to the voters of
Bernalillo County was on or about September 28 2012 See email attached as
Exhibit 3 See also9 of Exhibit 4
6 PlaintiffRane became aware of the Secretary of States decision on or
about October 22012 after reviewing the sample ballot See Rane Affidavit at 9
7 In the past the Plaintiffs have chosen the option to vote for the party
ticker and will continue to choose to do so in the future This right has been
improperly withdrawn by the Secretary of State See Affidavits of Ranes and
Marquez attached as Exhibits 4amp5
8 By identifying the party emblem only with the candidates for Office
of the President the Secretary of State has caused and will cause voter confusion
See Marquez Affidavit attached as Exhibit 5
III JURISDICTION VENUE AND PARTIES

Officer Dianna Duran New Mexico Secretary of State to require her to perfonn a
nondiscretionary act and reverse her position outlined and allow a straight party
option on the November ballot The Petitioners ask for a preemptory writ to be

10 This Court has jurisdiction to correct an error on the ballot namely
through statute

V CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY FOUNDATION FOR MANDAMUS ACTION
AMANDAMUS
This Courts authority to resolve this matter through Mandamus is well
settled and most squarely applied to its reasoning as stated in State ofNM ex reI
League of Woman Voters v Herrera 145 NM 563 566 203 P3d 94
97 (NM2009) In League of Women Voters the Court reasoned
6
We first consider the Leagues standing to bring an action in mandamus and whether mandamus is an appropriate remedy This Court in its discretion may grant private parties standing to vindicate the public interest in cases presenting issues of great public importance State ex rei Sego v Kirkpatrick 86 NM 359 363 524 P2d 975 979 (1974) Determining the validity of individual votes is of unquestionable importance Establishing clear rules prior to election day as to how such validity is to be established is of equal if not greater importance Therefore there can be little doubt that construing the statute governing the counting of hand-tallied ballots qualifies under the great public importance standard of the Sego line of cases
The New Mexico Constitution gives this Court the power to issue writs of mandamus against all state officers NM Const art VI sect 3 Mandamus is appropriate to compel state officers to perform a statutory duty State ex rei Clark v Johnson 120 NM 562569904 P2d 11 18 (1995) Here the Secretary is clearly a state officer within the meaning of the Constitution and it is clear that the Secretary must follow the Election Code and does not have the power to change its mandatory provisions Weldon v Sanders 99 NM 160 164-65655 P2d 1004 1008-09 (1982)
B NEW MEXICO CONSTITUTION
New Mexicos Constitution says

B The secretary of state shall determine in each election where applicable the position of the parties constitutional amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of the entire state
N M S A 1978 sect 1-10-3
VI ARGUMENT
A The Secretary is State is Obligated under 1-7-6 to Place Straight Party Option on 2012 Ballot
Throughout New Mexicos history voters have been provided the option to
vote for the full party ticket This right was fIrst removed by this Secretary State
only recently and without announcement This is contrary to the primacy of the
text of sect1-7-6 which states the certifIed party name and emblem shall thereafter
be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots The relevant
portions of this statute to be parsed are in bold The fIrst is that the statue is
mandatory not permissive as it uses the term shall not may See sect12-2A-4
Therefore the emblem must be used The next question is for what purpose The
Statute then requires that emblem shall designate the ticket and nothing else It is
not disputed that the only use of this emblem in the previous election was to
designate where a voter could vote for a particular ticket See UDMF 3 see also
Exhibit 1 (2008 and 2010 Ballot) Under the limited authority granted by the
legislature for ballot form and content the Secretary of State only has discretion to
determine the limited issues of the position of the parties constitutional
10
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

V CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY FOUNDATION FOR MANDAMUS ACTION
AMANDAMUS
This Courts authority to resolve this matter through Mandamus is well
settled and most squarely applied to its reasoning as stated in State ofNM ex reI
League of Woman Voters v Herrera 145 NM 563 566 203 P3d 94
97 (NM2009) In League of Women Voters the Court reasoned
6
We first consider the Leagues standing to bring an action in mandamus and whether mandamus is an appropriate remedy This Court in its discretion may grant private parties standing to vindicate the public interest in cases presenting issues of great public importance State ex rei Sego v Kirkpatrick 86 NM 359 363 524 P2d 975 979 (1974) Determining the validity of individual votes is of unquestionable importance Establishing clear rules prior to election day as to how such validity is to be established is of equal if not greater importance Therefore there can be little doubt that construing the statute governing the counting of hand-tallied ballots qualifies under the great public importance standard of the Sego line of cases
The New Mexico Constitution gives this Court the power to issue writs of mandamus against all state officers NM Const art VI sect 3 Mandamus is appropriate to compel state officers to perform a statutory duty State ex rei Clark v Johnson 120 NM 562569904 P2d 11 18 (1995) Here the Secretary is clearly a state officer within the meaning of the Constitution and it is clear that the Secretary must follow the Election Code and does not have the power to change its mandatory provisions Weldon v Sanders 99 NM 160 164-65655 P2d 1004 1008-09 (1982)
B NEW MEXICO CONSTITUTION
New Mexicos Constitution says
sect 3 Discrimination in voting juror selection and holding office
The right of any citizen of the state to vote hold office or sit upon juries shall never be restricted abridged or impaired on account of religion race language or color or inability to speak read or write the English or Spanish languages except as may be otherwise provided in this constitution and the provisions of this section and of Section One of this article shall never be amended except upon a vote of the people of this state in an election at which at least threeshyfourths of the electors voting in the whole state and at least two-thirds of those

voting in each county of the state shall vote for such amendment

III What is On The Ballot
1-10-3 Ballots uniformity
A Ballots shall be uniform throughout the state and compatible with the type of voting machine used in the county
9
B The secretary of state shall determine in each election where applicable the position of the parties constitutional amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of the entire state
N M S A 1978 sect 1-10-3
VI ARGUMENT
A The Secretary is State is Obligated under 1-7-6 to Place Straight Party Option on 2012 Ballot
Throughout New Mexicos history voters have been provided the option to
vote for the full party ticket This right was fIrst removed by this Secretary State
only recently and without announcement This is contrary to the primacy of the
text of sect1-7-6 which states the certifIed party name and emblem shall thereafter
be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots The relevant
portions of this statute to be parsed are in bold The fIrst is that the statue is
mandatory not permissive as it uses the term shall not may See sect12-2A-4
Therefore the emblem must be used The next question is for what purpose The
Statute then requires that emblem shall designate the ticket and nothing else It is
not disputed that the only use of this emblem in the previous election was to
designate where a voter could vote for a particular ticket See UDMF 3 see also
Exhibit 1 (2008 and 2010 Ballot) Under the limited authority granted by the
legislature for ballot form and content the Secretary of State only has discretion to
determine the limited issues of the position of the parties constitutional
10
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks
Maggie

registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico

4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party

6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my

refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a

1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates

V CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY FOUNDATION FOR MANDAMUS ACTION
AMANDAMUS
This Courts authority to resolve this matter through Mandamus is well
settled and most squarely applied to its reasoning as stated in State ofNM ex reI
League of Woman Voters v Herrera 145 NM 563 566 203 P3d 94
97 (NM2009) In League of Women Voters the Court reasoned
6
We first consider the Leagues standing to bring an action in mandamus and whether mandamus is an appropriate remedy This Court in its discretion may grant private parties standing to vindicate the public interest in cases presenting issues of great public importance State ex rei Sego v Kirkpatrick 86 NM 359 363 524 P2d 975 979 (1974) Determining the validity of individual votes is of unquestionable importance Establishing clear rules prior to election day as to how such validity is to be established is of equal if not greater importance Therefore there can be little doubt that construing the statute governing the counting of hand-tallied ballots qualifies under the great public importance standard of the Sego line of cases
The New Mexico Constitution gives this Court the power to issue writs of mandamus against all state officers NM Const art VI sect 3 Mandamus is appropriate to compel state officers to perform a statutory duty State ex rei Clark v Johnson 120 NM 562569904 P2d 11 18 (1995) Here the Secretary is clearly a state officer within the meaning of the Constitution and it is clear that the Secretary must follow the Election Code and does not have the power to change its mandatory provisions Weldon v Sanders 99 NM 160 164-65655 P2d 1004 1008-09 (1982)

A Ballots shall be uniform throughout the state and compatible with the type of voting machine used in the county

B The secretary of state shall determine in each election where applicable the position of the parties constitutional amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of the entire state
N M S A 1978 sect 1-10-3
VI ARGUMENT
A The Secretary is State is Obligated under 1-7-6 to Place Straight Party Option on 2012 Ballot
Throughout New Mexicos history voters have been provided the option to
vote for the full party ticket This right was fIrst removed by this Secretary State
only recently and without announcement This is contrary to the primacy of the
text of sect1-7-6 which states the certifIed party name and emblem shall thereafter
be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots The relevant
portions of this statute to be parsed are in bold The fIrst is that the statue is
mandatory not permissive as it uses the term shall not may See sect12-2A-4
Therefore the emblem must be used The next question is for what purpose The
Statute then requires that emblem shall designate the ticket and nothing else It is
not disputed that the only use of this emblem in the previous election was to
designate where a voter could vote for a particular ticket See UDMF 3 see also
Exhibit 1 (2008 and 2010 Ballot) Under the limited authority granted by the
legislature for ballot form and content the Secretary of State only has discretion to
determine the limited issues of the position of the parties constitutional
10
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks
Maggie

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

V CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY FOUNDATION FOR MANDAMUS ACTION
AMANDAMUS
This Courts authority to resolve this matter through Mandamus is well
settled and most squarely applied to its reasoning as stated in State ofNM ex reI
League of Woman Voters v Herrera 145 NM 563 566 203 P3d 94
97 (NM2009) In League of Women Voters the Court reasoned
6
We first consider the Leagues standing to bring an action in mandamus and whether mandamus is an appropriate remedy This Court in its discretion may grant private parties standing to vindicate the public interest in cases presenting issues of great public importance State ex rei Sego v Kirkpatrick 86 NM 359 363 524 P2d 975 979 (1974) Determining the validity of individual votes is of unquestionable importance Establishing clear rules prior to election day as to how such validity is to be established is of equal if not greater importance Therefore there can be little doubt that construing the statute governing the counting of hand-tallied ballots qualifies under the great public importance standard of the Sego line of cases
The New Mexico Constitution gives this Court the power to issue writs of mandamus against all state officers NM Const art VI sect 3 Mandamus is appropriate to compel state officers to perform a statutory duty State ex rei Clark v Johnson 120 NM 562569904 P2d 11 18 (1995) Here the Secretary is clearly a state officer within the meaning of the Constitution and it is clear that the Secretary must follow the Election Code and does not have the power to change its mandatory provisions Weldon v Sanders 99 NM 160 164-65655 P2d 1004 1008-09 (1982)

B The secretary of state shall determine in each election where applicable the position of the parties constitutional amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of the entire state
N M S A 1978 sect 1-10-3
VI ARGUMENT
A The Secretary is State is Obligated under 1-7-6 to Place Straight Party Option on 2012 Ballot
Throughout New Mexicos history voters have been provided the option to
vote for the full party ticket This right was fIrst removed by this Secretary State
only recently and without announcement This is contrary to the primacy of the
text of sect1-7-6 which states the certifIed party name and emblem shall thereafter
be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots The relevant
portions of this statute to be parsed are in bold The fIrst is that the statue is
mandatory not permissive as it uses the term shall not may See sect12-2A-4
Therefore the emblem must be used The next question is for what purpose The
Statute then requires that emblem shall designate the ticket and nothing else It is
not disputed that the only use of this emblem in the previous election was to
designate where a voter could vote for a particular ticket See UDMF 3 see also
Exhibit 1 (2008 and 2010 Ballot) Under the limited authority granted by the
legislature for ballot form and content the Secretary of State only has discretion to
determine the limited issues of the position of the parties constitutional
10
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks
Maggie

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

V CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY FOUNDATION FOR MANDAMUS ACTION
AMANDAMUS
This Courts authority to resolve this matter through Mandamus is well
settled and most squarely applied to its reasoning as stated in State ofNM ex reI
League of Woman Voters v Herrera 145 NM 563 566 203 P3d 94
97 (NM2009) In League of Women Voters the Court reasoned
6
We first consider the Leagues standing to bring an action in mandamus and whether mandamus is an appropriate remedy This Court in its discretion may grant private parties standing to vindicate the public interest in cases presenting issues of great public importance State ex rei Sego v Kirkpatrick 86 NM 359 363 524 P2d 975 979 (1974) Determining the validity of individual votes is of unquestionable importance Establishing clear rules prior to election day as to how such validity is to be established is of equal if not greater importance Therefore there can be little doubt that construing the statute governing the counting of hand-tallied ballots qualifies under the great public importance standard of the Sego line of cases
The New Mexico Constitution gives this Court the power to issue writs of mandamus against all state officers NM Const art VI sect 3 Mandamus is appropriate to compel state officers to perform a statutory duty State ex rei Clark v Johnson 120 NM 562569904 P2d 11 18 (1995) Here the Secretary is clearly a state officer within the meaning of the Constitution and it is clear that the Secretary must follow the Election Code and does not have the power to change its mandatory provisions Weldon v Sanders 99 NM 160 164-65655 P2d 1004 1008-09 (1982)
B NEW MEXICO CONSTITUTION
New Mexicos Constitution says
sect 3 Discrimination in voting juror selection and holding office
The right of any citizen of the state to vote hold office or sit upon juries shall never be restricted abridged or impaired on account of religion race language or color or inability to speak read or write the English or Spanish languages except as may be otherwise provided in this constitution and the provisions of this section and of Section One of this article shall never be amended except upon a vote of the people of this state in an election at which at least threeshyfourths of the electors voting in the whole state and at least two-thirds of those
7
voting in each county of the state shall vote for such amendment
Const Art 7 sect 3
C NEW MEXICO STATUTE
I Party Emblem and Designation
sect 1-7-6 Party name and emblem
A The chairman of the state central committee of a qualified political party shall file with the secretary of state a certificate setting forth the name selected for the political- party and showing a representation of the emblem by which the party is to be represented
B The certified party name and emblem shall thereafter be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots
C The secretary of state shall certify the party name and emblem of the party to each county clerk
D The state convention of a political party may change the party name and party emblem by adopting in their stead another name and emblem The new party name and party emblem shall be filed in the same manner as was the original party name and party emblem provided the certificate shall be signed by the presiding officer and the secretary of the state convention adopting the new party name and party emblem
E No political party shall adopt any party name or party emblem which is the same as similar to or which conceivably can be confused with or mistaken for the party name or party emblem of any other qualified political party in New Mexico

A A statute or rule is construed ifpossible to
(1) give effect to its objective and purpose
(2) give effect to its entire text and
(3) avoid an unconstitutional absurd or unachievable result
B A statute that is intended to be uniform with those of other states is construed to effectuate that purpose with respect to the subject of the statute
C The presumption that a civil statute in derogation of the common law IS
construed strictly does not apply to a statute of this state
sect 12-2A-19 Primacy of text
The text of a statute or rule is the primary essential source of its meaning
N M S A 1978 sect 12-2A-19
III What is On The Ballot
1-10-3 Ballots uniformity
A Ballots shall be uniform throughout the state and compatible with the type of voting machine used in the county
9
B The secretary of state shall determine in each election where applicable the position of the parties constitutional amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of the entire state
N M S A 1978 sect 1-10-3
VI ARGUMENT
A The Secretary is State is Obligated under 1-7-6 to Place Straight Party Option on 2012 Ballot
Throughout New Mexicos history voters have been provided the option to
vote for the full party ticket This right was fIrst removed by this Secretary State
only recently and without announcement This is contrary to the primacy of the
text of sect1-7-6 which states the certifIed party name and emblem shall thereafter
be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots The relevant
portions of this statute to be parsed are in bold The fIrst is that the statue is
mandatory not permissive as it uses the term shall not may See sect12-2A-4
Therefore the emblem must be used The next question is for what purpose The
Statute then requires that emblem shall designate the ticket and nothing else It is
not disputed that the only use of this emblem in the previous election was to
designate where a voter could vote for a particular ticket See UDMF 3 see also
Exhibit 1 (2008 and 2010 Ballot) Under the limited authority granted by the
legislature for ballot form and content the Secretary of State only has discretion to
determine the limited issues of the position of the parties constitutional
10
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS WAS FILED AND SERVED ON THE FOLLOWING PERSONS OR ENTITIES THIS 11TH DAY OF OCTOBER
The Honorable Dianna Duran New Mexico Secretary of State 325 Don Gaspar Avenue 300 Santa Fe NM 87501 505-827-3600
The Honorable Gary King New Mexico Attorney Generals Office 408 Galisteo Street Santa Fe NM 87501

We first consider the Leagues standing to bring an action in mandamus and whether mandamus is an appropriate remedy This Court in its discretion may grant private parties standing to vindicate the public interest in cases presenting issues of great public importance State ex rei Sego v Kirkpatrick 86 NM 359 363 524 P2d 975 979 (1974) Determining the validity of individual votes is of unquestionable importance Establishing clear rules prior to election day as to how such validity is to be established is of equal if not greater importance Therefore there can be little doubt that construing the statute governing the counting of hand-tallied ballots qualifies under the great public importance standard of the Sego line of cases
The New Mexico Constitution gives this Court the power to issue writs of mandamus against all state officers NM Const art VI sect 3 Mandamus is appropriate to compel state officers to perform a statutory duty State ex rei Clark v Johnson 120 NM 562569904 P2d 11 18 (1995) Here the Secretary is clearly a state officer within the meaning of the Constitution and it is clear that the Secretary must follow the Election Code and does not have the power to change its mandatory provisions Weldon v Sanders 99 NM 160 164-65655 P2d 1004 1008-09 (1982)

A A statute or rule is construed ifpossible to
(1) give effect to its objective and purpose
(2) give effect to its entire text and
(3) avoid an unconstitutional absurd or unachievable result
B A statute that is intended to be uniform with those of other states is construed to effectuate that purpose with respect to the subject of the statute
C The presumption that a civil statute in derogation of the common law IS
construed strictly does not apply to a statute of this state
sect 12-2A-19 Primacy of text
The text of a statute or rule is the primary essential source of its meaning
N M S A 1978 sect 12-2A-19
III What is On The Ballot
1-10-3 Ballots uniformity
A Ballots shall be uniform throughout the state and compatible with the type of voting machine used in the county

B The secretary of state shall determine in each election where applicable the position of the parties constitutional amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of the entire state
N M S A 1978 sect 1-10-3
VI ARGUMENT
A The Secretary is State is Obligated under 1-7-6 to Place Straight Party Option on 2012 Ballot
Throughout New Mexicos history voters have been provided the option to
vote for the full party ticket This right was fIrst removed by this Secretary State
only recently and without announcement This is contrary to the primacy of the
text of sect1-7-6 which states the certifIed party name and emblem shall thereafter
be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots The relevant
portions of this statute to be parsed are in bold The fIrst is that the statue is
mandatory not permissive as it uses the term shall not may See sect12-2A-4
Therefore the emblem must be used The next question is for what purpose The
Statute then requires that emblem shall designate the ticket and nothing else It is
not disputed that the only use of this emblem in the previous election was to
designate where a voter could vote for a particular ticket See UDMF 3 see also
Exhibit 1 (2008 and 2010 Ballot) Under the limited authority granted by the
legislature for ballot form and content the Secretary of State only has discretion to
determine the limited issues of the position of the parties constitutional
10
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

B The secretary of state shall determine in each election where applicable the position of the parties constitutional amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of the entire state
N M S A 1978 sect 1-10-3
VI ARGUMENT
A The Secretary is State is Obligated under 1-7-6 to Place Straight Party Option on 2012 Ballot
Throughout New Mexicos history voters have been provided the option to
vote for the full party ticket This right was fIrst removed by this Secretary State
only recently and without announcement This is contrary to the primacy of the
text of sect1-7-6 which states the certifIed party name and emblem shall thereafter
be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots The relevant
portions of this statute to be parsed are in bold The fIrst is that the statue is
mandatory not permissive as it uses the term shall not may See sect12-2A-4
Therefore the emblem must be used The next question is for what purpose The
Statute then requires that emblem shall designate the ticket and nothing else It is
not disputed that the only use of this emblem in the previous election was to
designate where a voter could vote for a particular ticket See UDMF 3 see also
Exhibit 1 (2008 and 2010 Ballot) Under the limited authority granted by the
legislature for ballot form and content the Secretary of State only has discretion to
determine the limited issues of the position of the parties constitutional
10
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates

sect 12-2A-18 Principles of construction presumption
A A statute or rule is construed ifpossible to
(1) give effect to its objective and purpose
(2) give effect to its entire text and
(3) avoid an unconstitutional absurd or unachievable result
B A statute that is intended to be uniform with those of other states is construed to effectuate that purpose with respect to the subject of the statute
C The presumption that a civil statute in derogation of the common law IS
construed strictly does not apply to a statute of this state
sect 12-2A-19 Primacy of text
The text of a statute or rule is the primary essential source of its meaning
N M S A 1978 sect 12-2A-19
III What is On The Ballot
1-10-3 Ballots uniformity
A Ballots shall be uniform throughout the state and compatible with the type of voting machine used in the county
9
B The secretary of state shall determine in each election where applicable the position of the parties constitutional amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of the entire state
N M S A 1978 sect 1-10-3
VI ARGUMENT
A The Secretary is State is Obligated under 1-7-6 to Place Straight Party Option on 2012 Ballot
Throughout New Mexicos history voters have been provided the option to
vote for the full party ticket This right was fIrst removed by this Secretary State
only recently and without announcement This is contrary to the primacy of the
text of sect1-7-6 which states the certifIed party name and emblem shall thereafter
be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots The relevant
portions of this statute to be parsed are in bold The fIrst is that the statue is
mandatory not permissive as it uses the term shall not may See sect12-2A-4
Therefore the emblem must be used The next question is for what purpose The
Statute then requires that emblem shall designate the ticket and nothing else It is
not disputed that the only use of this emblem in the previous election was to
designate where a voter could vote for a particular ticket See UDMF 3 see also
Exhibit 1 (2008 and 2010 Ballot) Under the limited authority granted by the
legislature for ballot form and content the Secretary of State only has discretion to
determine the limited issues of the position of the parties constitutional
10
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE

The Honorable Dianna Duran New Mexico Secretary of State 325 Don Gaspar Avenue 300 Santa Fe NM 87501 505-827-3600
The Honorable Gary King New Mexico Attorney Generals Office 408 Galisteo Street Santa Fe NM 87501
D-cJ)David K Thomson
B The secretary of state shall determine in each election where applicable the position of the parties constitutional amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of the entire state
N M S A 1978 sect 1-10-3
VI ARGUMENT
A The Secretary is State is Obligated under 1-7-6 to Place Straight Party Option on 2012 Ballot
Throughout New Mexicos history voters have been provided the option to
vote for the full party ticket This right was fIrst removed by this Secretary State
only recently and without announcement This is contrary to the primacy of the
text of sect1-7-6 which states the certifIed party name and emblem shall thereafter
be used to designate the ticket of that political party on all ballots The relevant
portions of this statute to be parsed are in bold The fIrst is that the statue is
mandatory not permissive as it uses the term shall not may See sect12-2A-4
Therefore the emblem must be used The next question is for what purpose The
Statute then requires that emblem shall designate the ticket and nothing else It is
not disputed that the only use of this emblem in the previous election was to
designate where a voter could vote for a particular ticket See UDMF 3 see also
Exhibit 1 (2008 and 2010 Ballot) Under the limited authority granted by the
legislature for ballot form and content the Secretary of State only has discretion to
determine the limited issues of the position of the parties constitutional
10
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS WAS FILED AND SERVED ON THE FOLLOWING PERSONS OR ENTITIES THIS 11TH DAY OF OCTOBER
The Honorable Dianna Duran New Mexico Secretary of State 325 Don Gaspar Avenue 300 Santa Fe NM 87501 505-827-3600
The Honorable Gary King New Mexico Attorney Generals Office 408 Galisteo Street Santa Fe NM 87501
D-cJ)David K Thomson
amendments questions and the names of nominees to be voted on by the voters of
the entire state See NMSA 1-10-3
The Secretary of States mistake is that she makes no distinction between
ticket and candidate But this distinction is important to the purpose of the statute
See NMSA sect 12-2A-18 The reference to ticket creates the distinct right on the
ballot to vote for all candidates that belong to that party See eg Ie sect 34-906
which states There shall be a single general election ballot on which the complete
ticket of each political party shall be printed Each political party ticket shall
include that partys nominee for each particular office The secretary of state shall
design the general election ballot to allow for write-in candidates under each office
title The office titles shall be listed in order beginning with the highest federal
office The secretary of state has the discretion and authority to arrange the above
classifications of offices as provided by law To put it another way it is a
practical manner to avoid having to attach the emblem to every single candidate in
that ticket That is the voter has a choice under New Mexico Law vote the
ticket as identified by the party emblem or go through the full ballot and vote
for individual candidates See Exhibit 4 ~7 of Marquez Affidavit
Therefore the Secretary of State has no discretion to make a unilateral
decision to simply remove the ability for a ticket option to be made available to all
11
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks
Maggie

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS WAS FILED AND SERVED ON THE FOLLOWING PERSONS OR ENTITIES THIS 11TH DAY OF OCTOBER
The Honorable Dianna Duran New Mexico Secretary of State 325 Don Gaspar Avenue 300 Santa Fe NM 87501 505-827-3600
The Honorable Gary King New Mexico Attorney Generals Office 408 Galisteo Street Santa Fe NM 87501
D-cJ)David K Thomson
voters on all ballots See NMSA 1-7 -6 see also Davidowitz v Philadelphia
County 324 Pa 17 26 187 A 585 588 - 589 (Pa1936) which states the
secretary is not permitted to substitute his discretion in this regard for that which
the legislature has there definitely commanded To say that the Legislature by this
section intended to vest in the Secretary of the Commonwealth an uncontrolled
regulation of the arrangement of the ballot labels would cause the act to run afoul
of the principle which forbids delegation of legislative power
Both individually named Plaintiffs have availed themselves to the right to
vote the full ticket in the past and the elimination of this right restricts their ability
to exercise their right to vote See affidavits ofRane and Marquez
B In the Alternative 1-7-6 Does Not Allow the Emblem to Designate Only the Presidential Candidate
It is clear now that the Secretary of State in deciding to eliminate the right
to vote for the full ticket did not read sect 1-7-6 It is not disputed that the emblem
shall be used on all ballots In addition it can only be used to designate the ticket It
may not be used to show a particular candidate as the Secretary of State has done
in Exhibit 2 The reasoning is that having the emblem designate a candidate only
causes great voter confusion It appears that-especially in a State that has
traditionally had straight ticket voting-the emblem next to the President would
count as a vote for the full ticket The concern then is that those voters who like
12
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks
Maggie

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS WAS FILED AND SERVED ON THE FOLLOWING PERSONS OR ENTITIES THIS 11TH DAY OF OCTOBER
The Honorable Dianna Duran New Mexico Secretary of State 325 Don Gaspar Avenue 300 Santa Fe NM 87501 505-827-3600
The Honorable Gary King New Mexico Attorney Generals Office 408 Galisteo Street Santa Fe NM 87501
D-cJ)David K Thomson
the Plaintiffs like to vote the full ticket will drop off the ticket Given the citations
provided above if the Court fmds somehow that the Secretary of State can simply
eliminate ticket voting it cannot endorse her decision to simply use the emblem in
any way she decides especially in a manner that causes confusion to voters by
limiting it only to Presidential Candidates
C In the Alternative if the emblem is to be used it must be applied next to ALL candidates whose party is designated by that emblem
The only way to give proper effect to sect 1-7-6 and allow the Secretary of State
to validate her erroneous and irrational attachment of the emblem to the
Presidential Candidate is to place the emblem next to all of the candidates That is
if the language of sect1-7-6 namely emblem shall thereafter be used to designate
the ticket of that political party under the Secretary of States proposed 2012
Ballot it must be changed to place the emblem on every candidate on that ticket
Upon information and belief to do so is a practical impossibility and if that is
shown to be true this remedy must give way to the option for the full ticket as seen
in the 2008 ballot See Sept 14 email Bern Clerk to Shearer Exh 3 attached That
is to give 1-7-6 its true effect the emblem shall designate a straight ticket option
or be left off entirely
WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court
13
a Issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary of States
actions in omitting the straight ticket option that is inconsistent with sect 7 -6-1
and require any further form or ballots include the straight party option as
outlined in Exhibit 1 hereto
b Alternatively issues a Writ of Mandamus declaring the Secretary
of States actions in placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential
Candidate violates the plain reading of 7-6-1 and remove that emblem from
the Presidential Candidates name
c Alternatively declare that the Secretary of States action in
placing the party emblem only next to the Presidential Candidate violates the
plain reading of sect7-6-1 and require the Secretary of State to show cause why
either the emblem is placed next to each candidate on the ballot or the
straight ticket option is reinstated
d Grant such other relief as the Court considers appropriate

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks
Maggie

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks
Maggie

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not

known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above

AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ

1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks
Maggie

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not
Respectfully Submitted

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks
Maggie

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks
Maggie

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this
Thanks

AFFIPAvrr OF AYGUSTJ RANE
COMES NOW Auaust J Rane affiant and being fllSt duly swom and placed
under oath and for his affidavit he testifies avers and deposes as follows
1 My name is August J Rane
2 I am Fifty-One years old and have been resident ofand domiciled in New Mexico
my entire life except for one summer during my college education many years
ago I was first registered to vote in New Mexico when I went to college at the
University ofNew Mexico in the early 1980s
3 I am a registered voter in the State of New Mexico County of Bernalillo I am
registered to vote at 1012 Manzano Court NW Albuquerque New Mexico
87102
4 I have been seeking a copy of my sample ballot off of the internet for
approximately two weeks because I wanted to view my sample ballot and because
I am familiar with New Mexico Statutes 1-7-6 and I wanted to be sure that I could
vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party in the manner that I have done so
for many years now
S I have exercised my franchise in New Mexico many times by seeking the emblem
of my party and affmnatively voting for the entire party ticket by so indicating
next to the emblem ofmy party
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 1 of4
6 Particularly since the death of my father Taos artist Bill Rane in 200S I have for
reasons of political family and social considerations desired to vote for the
ticket of my party by making a single vote or at a minimum by voting for all
those candidates who are identified to my party by the emblem of my party
7 I am familiar with the written party platfonns of the two primary parties in the
United States ofAmerica and I identify and desire to support entirely one ofthose
two platforms rejecting the other and as a result of this political desire and in
conformance with the tradition of my family and my father it is an important
political position for me to be able to vote by party emblem identification alone for
the entire ticket ofmy party on the general election ballot on November 62012
8 I have in past elections since 200S especially taken political pride and satisfaction
in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
for political office of my choice but also to indicate my solidarity with the party as
a party and my solidarity with the political platform and philosophy ofmy party
9 Immediately after receiving my sample ballot on or about October 2 2012 I
suspected immediately that I would not be able to support my partys entire ticket
as a single ticket with this ballot and I was offended and disturbed by this reality
that is contrary to the previous ballot choices I have enjoyed in the past which
previous ballot choices confonned with NMSA 1-7-6 I quickly spoke to my
Affidavit ofAugust 1 Ratte 2 of 4
refusing to vote as a political position as my vote will no longer represent to me a
vote of affiliation with my party and its platform as a single political entity
Further affiant Sayeth Not
011 tllefh day ofOctober 2012 there appeared before me August J Rane who is
known to me and he did after being duly sworn and placed under oath swear affirm
testify aver and depose as indicated herein and as a sign thereof and in conformity
therewith he did set his seal and signature in my presence as indicated by his mark above
My Commission Expires
Affidavit ofAugust J Rane 4 of 4
AFFIDVIT OF WILLIE MARQUEZ
COMES NOW William (Willie) Marquez affiant and being first duly sworn and placed under oath and for his affidavit he testifies and avers as follows
1 My Name is William (Willie) Marquez I am 63 years old 2 I am a resident and registered voter bfSanta Fe County New Mexico I have
been registered to vote since the age of 22 3 I am registered to vote at the following address 3057 Pueblo Puye Santa Fe
NM 87507-2538 4 I have reviewed the sample ballot for the 2012 election and have expressed
my concerns about the possibility that the Secretary of State would eliminate my right to vote the ticket of the party to which I belong
5 I vote in solidarity with the ticket of my party due to my agreement with the general provisions of the party platform I wish to vote for all candidates identified or associated with that ticket
6 I have voted for the full ticket on the general election ballots 7 In the past elections the emblem indicated or designated to me that it is a
straight party vote As someone who has always voted straight party it is confusing and complicated to have the emblem only next to the presidential candidates name and not all the candidates the sample ballot looks like a straight party option when it is not
8 I believe not being able to vote for the full ticket limits my right to vote and freedom of choice to vote the full ticket or vote for individual candidates
Further affiant Sayeth Not

Hey Bobbi-
Word reached me about Diannas interest in putting the party emblems on the ballot This is news I am concerned this will bump us up to a 19 ballot which were pretty much past the point of no return on right now This is going to cause major problems for me - the other option is a non-uniform back Also major problems Any chance we could go without the emblem Please call if youd like to chat about this

in marking a single place on my ballot to not only support the individuals running
