The Minnesota Supreme Court has upheld a law that restores voting rights to felons who have completed their prison terms. The law, signed last year by Governor Tim Walz, who was recently named the Democratic vice presidential candidate alongside Kamala Harris, allows over 50,000 Minnesotans to vote this fall. The court's decision dismissed a challenge to the law based on the plaintiffs' lack of legal standing. This ruling marks a significant step in re-enfranchising citizens who have served their time.
