And why would the Gov veto this bill. has he stated opposition in the past? /s
I don’t know his current stand on this voter ID bill but he is an up and coming “star” of the Demonrat party which opposes voter ID’s.
For that reason alone, I believe he will veto this bill. Gotta follow his Democrat masters.
Here is a statement from a related news article about this subject:
“Meeting now is strategic. Democrats won enough legislative seats Election Day to end the Republicans’ veto-proof control come January. So Cooper, a longtime opponent of voter photo ID laws, won’t be able to stop any lame-duck session bills as long as Republicans remain united.”

Predictable. Dems oppose because they’re in favor of voter fraud. But they can’t come out and say it, so they hang it on some lame pretext or other.
That vote is veto proof and hoping the House has a similar vote.
