Three Republicans broke from their party's opposition to slots in the special session to vote for the bill. Democratic votes against did not come from any particular region of the State. Lopsided majorities of Democrats from Baltimore, Baltimore City, Montgomery, and Prince George's voted for the bill. Brian Frosh (D-16) was the only senator who is seen as a potential successor to Miller who voted no.
