www.mprnews.org Minnesota felon voting law attracts lawsuit
A conservative voters group says the Legislature lacked authority to give people with felony records their voting rights back before they completed their full sentences.
Minnesota’s new law granting quicker restoration of voting rights to people convicted of felonies is being challenged in court by a group disputing the way it was enacted.

Hope this ends up getting shut down by the courts
Why? I'm personally open to allowing voting from prison.
I mean I hope the lawsuit is shut down, more people voting is always a win in my book
Well if the courts basically already said that the legislature gets to decide, it seems like this challenge has no leg to stand on...
