A week before Minnesota primary voters go to the polls, the Minnesota Voters Alliance and an independent group of voters filed a federal lawsuit against Democrat Gov. Tim Walz challenging the state’s combination of laws that criminalize both wearing a mask and not wearing a mask.
As part of Walz’s Executive Order 20-81, dated July 22, in response to the pandemic, it’s currently illegal to appear in public without a protective face mask, according to a summary.
