Minnesota officials were using the law to block contested claims about when felons were allowed to vote in Minnesota elections.

Another big legal win in MVA v. Ellison! Free Speech (initially about whether supervised felons have a constitutional right to vote) is protected by the 8th Circuit injunction.
