After a long fight, 40,000 people in Maryland just got the right to vote. The Maryland Senate voted to override Governor Hogan's veto and allow people with felony convictions to register to vote after they have been released from prison. Until now, registration was prohibited until after parole or probation had been completed. The vote was close— In Maryland, a veto needs three-fifths of both legislative bodies, meaning 29 senators would have to vote in favor.
