Minnesota Now: June 27, 2023

The Supreme Court issued a major ruling Tuesday that rejects a legal theory that could have reshaped federal elections in this country, giving state legislatures power to set rules for federal elections. We talk with a Hamline University law professor about what this means for democracy.

Adults with felonies will be able to vote in the next round of elections in Minnesota. We’ll talk with a formerly incarcerated man who is helping others with past convictions register to vote.

Terminal illness forces some families to determine how their loved one wants to die. We’ll hear from a Twin Cities woman who helped her mother say goodbye on her own terms.

And an Elk River, Minn., graduate is a contestant on a cooking new reality show. We’ll hear his journey to becoming a chef and get a preview of his time on the show.
