In a surprise move Wednesday morning, the N.C. House of Representatives voted to override Gov. Roy Coopers veto of the state budget with just over half of the 120 members present to vote. Gotta say, seems like a big mistake for Democrats to trust a North Carolina Republican. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

So not only did they rush this through while most of the Democrats were away, but the Dems that were there had their mics cut off?

Moore ignored the objections of the Democrats that were in the room and instead mowed through the vote with only 64 members present. The vote was 55-9. Both chambers of the General Assembly need three-fifths majority of the members present and voting to override a veto from the governor. There are 120 members total. They didn't have the 3/5ths, so how can the voting stand? --- Pitter-patter, let's get at 'er ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe, could be something like 3/5th of voting members and therefore people who dont show dont end up counting and they got like 55/64 or whatever it was so that would meet the threshold.

This was done in bad faith and there should be consequences but there probably won't be I mean there are elaborate rules for how legislative bodies conduct themselves for a reason.

And from NC House website
Pursuant to House Rules 26(e) and 26(f), the Chair of the Committee on Rules, Calendar and Operations of the House, the Speaker Pro Tempore, the Majority Leader, and the Deputy Majority Leader are ex officio members of each standing committee and permanent subcommittee with the right to vote. The previous sentence does not apply to the Standing Committee on Ethics. For the purposes of determining a quorum, when serving only as ex officio members, these members shall be counted among the membership of the committee or subcommittee only when present So they do to apparently. --- Moustache twirling villian https://i.imgur.com/U3lt3H4.jpg- Kerbey ...

Ive named two that require a quorum versus the zero that you two have listed. I haven't listed any because I don't care that much, but this scenario implies that North Carolina doesn't require a quorum before voting.
