Conservative group challenges legality of Minnesota's new election misinformation law

[RandySF]

The Minnesota Voters Alliance is suing the state over a new law barring people from distributing misinformation in the run-up to elections.

The group calls itself an election integrity watchdog that seeks to increase voter participation, but has repeatedly taken legal action against the secretary of state and counties over election laws intended to make it easier to vote.

The Voters Alliance and an associated law firm law firm are also challenging the constitutionality of another new Minnesota law restoring voting rights to felons once they’re released.

The latest election law they’re targeting, effective June 15, makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly spread false information with the intent to impede or prevent people from voting if issued within 60 days of an election.

1. You gotta fight . . . for your right . . . to lie your ass off

After all, conservatives can't win on their program, or their platform, or the issues. So they have to cheat. It's not fair to penalize them for lying.

2. Pro Misinfo!

Amazing, but predictable for the Organized Crime Party.

3. It takes a Republican

A law is passed to prevent voters from being given false information that will impede their ability to vote—and Republicans challenge it in court!

“Nasty Supreme Court won’t let us cheat voters out of their right to vote! How are we supposed to win any elections if we can’t do that?”

(Hint—offer the public something better than what the Democrats are offering—if you are so inclined. Or else keep losing, or keep cheating. There are no other options.)
