ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland's Senate president called for civility Friday after Democrats received what he called "the most vicious hate mail you can possibly imagine" in the aftermath of overriding the Republican governor's veto. One caller expressed the hope a senator's wife would be raped and killed.
Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller asked Gov. Larry Hogan to stop his supporters from singling out senators in messages on social media. Hogan's spokesman said it was "ridiculous" and "beyond outrageous" to imply the governor was responsible for encouraging people to make such calls and comments.
"If they don't want their constituents to be upset with them, then they shouldn't vote in favor of items that their constituents absolutely despise," Hogan's spokesman Doug Mayer said.
The uproar happened after the Democratic-led legislature overrode the veto of a bill this week allowing felons to vote when they are on parole and probation. The override succeeded by the thinnest of margins for a three-fifths majority in both the House and Senate.

Let's demand a revote.
Mr. Miller needs to step aside and let some youth take over managing Maryland.
Miller is pi--ed off because these actions he has taken with his DemocRAT buddies have been exposed and the voters are tired of his / their liberal / partisan / dictatorship rule of Marylanders. He feels threaten because he might lose his position. He does not deserve his salary or pension since he has neglected his responsibilities for approx. 30 years and it is being exposed. He has ripped off the Maryland tax payer with his DemocRAT friends for to long. He should be considered a criminal / extortionist.
How did Liberal Jim vote on the override of the Governor's veto?
His Hate mail was a letter demanding a recall of his seat
Mike Miller is a dyed-in-the-wool dirtball!
Bunch of knuckleheads worrying about felons voting but could care less about the felons in congress. smdh
The Constitution allows a convicted felon, such as Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, to be a member of Congress, even if in prison. It’s up to the Senate or House to decide who may serve. As for state offices, different laws apply in different places.
Can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
