RALEIGH The state Senate v**ed Tuesday to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of a v**er ID bill, one of the final steps needed before the state requires v**ers to show photo identification at the polls.
The Senate v**ed 33-12 to override. In order to enact the law over Cooper’s objection, the House will also have to v**e to override his veto. The House and Senate passed the bill with veto-proof majorities before the Democratic governor vetoed it. The measure would require certain forms of photo ID to v**e in person.
Republican legislative leaders said Cooper’s veto defied the will of the v**ers. Photo v**er ID was added to the state constitution this year with support from 55 percent of v**ers.
Sen. Joyce Krawiec, a Kernersville Republican, said the bill writers listened to stakeholders, colleges and universities in shaping the proposal.
