Minnesota Democratic Secretary of State Steve Simon, left, claps after registering newly eligible voters, June 1, 2023, at Arlington Hills Community Center in St. Paul, Minn. A pro-Trump Minnesota judge took it upon himself to declare a new state law restoring voting rights for convicted felons unconstitutional, drawing a sharp rebuke from Minnesota's attorney general and secretary of state who say he overstepped his authority and urged residents to vote anyway. Simon and Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a joint statement that the judge's orders “fly in the face of the Legislature's passage of the Restore the Vote Act.” The law, which took effect in July, says people with felony convictions regain the right to vote after they've completed any prison term.
