Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers issued an opinion stating that a law restoring voting rights to people with felony convictions who have completed their sentences violates the state constitution's separation of powers. Hilgers says that only the state Board of Pardons can restore voting rights to people with felony convictions through a pardon. This opinion means that thousands of Nebraskans with felony convictions could be denied voting rights.
