The override vote on House Bill 87: Educational Choice for Children Act was 30-19 Wednesday afternoon, with all Republicans in favor and all Democrats present opposed.<\/p>\n

The measure is now law. House Republicans overrode Stein\u2019s veto last month after picking up the votes of unaffiliated Reps. Carla Cunningham and Nasif Majeed.<\/p>\n

Five veto overrides remain on the North Carolina House calendar, where they have sat for months, though it is unclear whether House Republicans can muster enough\u00a0 support to pass them.
