(Reuters) - North Carolina Democratic Governor Roy Cooper on Friday vetoed a Republican-authored bill requiring voters to present photo identification, saying it would disenfranchise poor, minority and elderly voters.

Republicans have a large enough majority in the state legislature to override Cooper's veto until January, when several Democrats who won seats in November will take office.

Good for him, at least someone there has leadership ability.
vetoed because having proof of identity would result in less votes for Democrats.
It is not true. Everyone wants to make sure that there is no cheat, and be fair to another one. but why did he suggest what there has already proof of identity ? Smh!
Republicans are the one's trying to steal votes.
