Not enough votes; the black democrat contingent of the ga gnl assembly hates the thought of whitey being able to defend himself.

[Dr. Sivana]

The votes are there for an override, but Deal waited for the legislature to be out of session.

“Not enough votes; the black democrat contingent of the ga gnl assembly hates the thought of whitey being able to defend himself.”

If the Republicans in the Georgia legislature wanted to override Deal’s veto, they could call a special session and do so without the contingent of black Democrats. The truth is that this legislation was primarily window dressing for the November election. Most Republicans fully expected, or at least strongly suspected, that Deal would veto the bill. Now, they can go back to their districts, tell the voters they “fought the good fight”, and blame the governor for the bill’s demise.
