Legislature Over-Rides Veto

 The Louisiana legislature has overturned a veto from Governor John Bel Edwards for the first tie in 31 years.  The bill inn question was the Congressional redistricting map.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Both chambers of the Louisiana Legislature voted Wednesday mainly along party lines to override Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards’ veto of a congressional redistricting bill, marking the first time in 31 years that lawmakers refused to accept a governor’s refusal of a bill they had passed.

Of course, the usual suspects are butt-hurt, claiming unfairness and 'racism' and have filed suit in the federal court to  overturn the overturn.
