from Wral,
An update from WRAL’s Laura Leslie: Voter ID,
Speaker Thom Tillis says the House will seek to override Gov. Perdue’s veto of H351, the Voter ID bill, during its July special session.
At first glance, an override seems unlikely. The House vote on H351 was strictly party-line, so the GOP would need to pick up four Dems to reach the override threshold of 72 votes.
Still, it has happened recently - and this override will be taking place against the backdrop of GOP redistricting.
With a majority in both chambers, Republicans will likely be able to pass their maps with no help from Dems at all. And redistricting bills are not subject to the governor’s veto, so vulnerable Democrats may be more inclined to negotiate with the folks across the aisle, especially when it comes to veto overrides. It’ll be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out.
I see that Tillis is hoping for a miracle, since he will need a few Dems, to override the veto.I wonder what he will promise them this time. Since Tillis has burned them once already…
