Republican lawmakers are renewing a push for a compromise measure that
would require voters to show identification at the polls, conceding that
voiding a veto of a tougher bill is unlikely. House Speaker Thom Tillis said he is intent on overriding more of Gov.
Bev Perdue’s vetoes before adjourning at the end of the month. But he
recently acknowledged the one hill too big to climb may be the voter ID
legislation vetoed by Perdue that would require voters to show a
driver’s license at the polls. A veto override requires a three-fifths
majority, meaning a handful of Democrats would need to side with the
Republican majority.
