Unfortunately, her veto will likely not be overridden. A 60% majority in both chambers of the General Assembly is required is required to override. In the State Senate, the Voter ID bill passed on a straight party-line vote, 31-19: over 60%. But in the House, it passed by less than a 60% margin, 66-48.

Some Dems who opposed the bill would have to vote for an override, and that seems unlikely. A strong majority of NC voters support voter ID, so this could be a factor in the 2012 election.
