Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : FILE - 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.
47% : It was an unusual step because nobody involved in those cases ever asked him to rule on the constitutionality of the law.
45% : In his orders, Quinn concluded the Legislature´s passage of the law did not constitute the kind of "affirmative act" he said was needed to properly restore a felon´s civil rights.
21% : Quinn had said the law was unconstitutional in a pair of October orders in which he sentenced two offenders to probation, but warned them they are not eligible to vote or register to vote - even though the law says they are.
