Maryland's Republican governor has been having some issues with his vetoes. So far, all 6 of his vetoes have seen the Democrat controlled state legislature override them.

This latest one allows felons to register to vote and vote while on parole and probation. There was a pretty strong social media campaign against it in which it was suggested that the bill allows incarcerated felons to votes.

Personally, I see this as a good step in getting felons back into society.
