North Carolina lawmakers began voting to override Gov. Josh Stein’s vetoes on Tuesday, forcing into law several contentious measures after a handful of House Democrats defected to vote with the Republican majority.

Most votes in the Senate came with little suspense, as Republicans hold a veto-proof majority.

But in the House, GOP leaders had no votes to spare. One seat short of a supermajority, they joined with several key Democrats to override the governor’s veto on an array of bills: cracking down on immigration enforcement, restricting changes to birth certificates for transgender people, allowing concealed weapons in private schools and repealing an emissions goal for Duke Energy
