    Default Pooper vetoes voter ID bill

    As expected, [North Carolina] Gov. Roy Cooper Friday vetoed Senate Bill 824, a measure implementing the voter identification requirement enacted in November by voters in a constitutional referendum.

    In his veto message, Cooper called the measure “sinister and cynical.”

    “It was designed to suppress the rights of minority, poor and elderly voters. The cost of disenfranchising those voters or any citizens is too high, and the risk of taking away the fundamental right to vote is too great, for this law to take effect,” Cooper said.

    The General Assembly must pass enabling language implementing the constitutional mandate at some point. The bill passed 67-40 in the House and 25-7 in the Senate, more than the three-fifths needed to override the veto.

    What a grandstanding ass. He has no power because we have veto-proof majorities in both houses. Go fuck yourself, Pooper.

    The GOP loses its supermajority in NC come January, so they should act quick. I am more shocked that the GOP funded a free ID program as part of this bill.
