A pro-Trump Minnesota judge has declared a new state law restoring voting rights for convicted felons unconstitutional

A pro-Trump Minnesota judge declared 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 said he overstepped his authority and urged residents to vote anyway.

” The judge was reprimanded by the Minnesota Board on Judicial Standards two years ago for his public support of former President Donald Trump and his critical comments about President Joe Biden. The county court administration office referred news media calls seeking comment from Quinn to the Minnesota Judicial Branch, which said he can't answer questions and, through a spokesperson, declined to comment on his actions. The law expanded voting rights to at least 55,000 Minnesotans.
